POP Pend Oreille Pedalers
|
Pend Oreille Pedalers POP was formed in 2004 to advocate for, build, and maintain trails for mountain bikers in the greater Sandpoint community. Since then, the club has grown to over 200 members and has overseen trail projects including the Syringa trail network, Mineral Point trails, the Lower Basin trails along Schweitzer Mountain Road, and High Point and Uleda Point trails higher above the Little Sand Creek Watershed.
OUR VISION AND MISSION
As Sandpoint’s local trail organization, our vision is “an interconnected system of bike trails for riders of varying ability levels for the benefit of Sandpoint and surrounding areas.” In pursuit of this vision, we aim to fulfill our multi-pillared mission, which includes:
1. Maintaining and protecting existing mountain bike trails and cycling routes
2. Expanding opportunities for mountain biking and cycling,
3. Advocating for the interests of mountain bikers with land managers,
4. Building and riding trails with others who share a passion for riding bikes.
WHO WE ARE
POP consists of a board of directors of seven volunteers, a part-time executive director, and a passionate and dedicated membership base of nearly 200 annually renewing members.
WHAT WE DO
1. Meetings: POP’s board meets at least monthly throughout the year. Starting in April monthly club meetings bring members together to discuss trail updates, volunteer opportunities, events, and more. Our club meetings are a much anticipated social event for cyclists in Sandpoint.
2. Camps: Starting in summer 2020 POP is putting on youth mountain biking camps for children aged 7-12. These will become an annual affair and are aimed at both growing our membership base and building the skills and passion for mountain biking among the next generation of riders.
3. Trail work: We host weekly trail work evenings from May – October, which generally bring 12-20 volunteers out to make headway on new trail projects or to maintain existing trails. We also put on several all day trail work events in the summer, generally to complete the club’s commitment to providing volunteers as part of the matching of grant funds the club has received for specific trail projects.
4. Group rides: POP board members lead weekly group rides through the spring and summer on POP maintained trails near Sandpoint. Members organize group road rides through the club’s social media channels for those in the community who prefer the smooth pavement over rocky trails!
