Mark your calendar - this fall there are several official events you can participate in to celebrate mountain biking! As if you even needed an excuse…

September 22: World Car Free Day. This isn’t just a national event - Car Free Day events are taking place all over the world and it’s the perfect opportunity to ride your mountain bike to work. Hit the website to find an event near you and find out how to make every day a car-free day.

September 27: National Public Lands Day. As mountain bikers many of us enjoy trails built on public lands and this is a day to give back. Volunteer for one of the events listed on the website and join more than 100,000 others working around the country.

October 3: Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day. We already posted this one on the blog but if you haven’t heard, IMBA is organizing TAKMBD to introduce the next generation to our sport. The best part? TAKMBD is all about riding for fun.

Finally, just a quick note that September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day so if you’re hitting the trails that day don’t forget your eye patch and peg leg. Argh!
