After months of planning, our mountain bike festival is ready to go! Come celebrate NEMBA's 15th Birthday, the finale of the Pedro's-Harpoon MTB Adventure Series and help raise money to buy land at Vietnam!

Sunday, October 20th
Great Brook Farm State Park, Carlisle MA.

The doors will open at 9am and we recommend that you arrive early if you want to get some great deals at the bike swap! There will also be lots of new stuff to ride as well as to buy from a bunch of bike shops, including Belmont Wheelworks, Cycle Loft, Gearworks Cyclery, Northeast Bikes, and Paramount Bicycle Repair

Make sure that you ride some new stuff from Kona and other manufacturers, or check out the 2003 line from Sinister Bikes and Ted Wojcik. Also, don't miss the cool trials show by creator of the Redbull Bike Battle's traps, Kevin Brody! And we're lucky to have one of Boston's great up-and-coming band, Two Ton Shoe, lay down down some live grooves.

Of course, Redbones BBQ will be there with lots of great southern style hospitality!

Our goal is raise some serious coin to buy land and save Vietnam, have a great time doing it! Come show your support and come have a great day on your bike with your whole family!

I think it would be really cool if you guys built a mud bog. That way, if we just stare at swag and gear all day, we can at least make it look like we went on a ride. (Yes,I am going riding and not staring at swag all day.)
