Lake Cycling is raising money for mountain bike advocacy through the production of an IMBA riding glove. The IMBA/Lake Telluride Cycling Glove is a full-finger model that features the IMBA logo on a terry cloth & mesh backing. The glove has strategic rubberized Clarino overlays for enhanced grip and durability. For every pair sold, Lake Cycling and its distributors will donate $2 to IMBA. Look for them at your local mountain bike retailer or at Lakecycling.com.

In August, an IMBA team sponsored by CLIF Bar participated in the 24 Hours of Adrenalin at Winter Park. Prior to the race, the folks from 24 Hours of Adrenalin presented IMBA with a check for $1,000 in memory of Winter Park legend Jack Mason, who passed away in a 2002 ski accident. IMBA's Tim Blumenthal rode the first lap for the team in honor of Mr. Mason and the co-ed IMBA squad took third place. IMBA will split the donation with the Bikes Belong Coalition.
