BLUE DIAMOND TO JEAN MTN BIKE RIDE
Saturday November 6, 2004
Blue Diamond to Jean is BARTA's annual 35 mile epic
mountain bike ride through the beautiful southern reaches of Red Rock
National Conservation Area. We host this ride to fund other trial building
and maintenance projects throughout the year.
For 2004 Barta will be donating the proceeds to Eric and Tine Hayes family
to help with expenses incurred since Eric's near fatal bicycle accident in
June.
Please remember, this is a very physically demanding ride that experienced
conditioned riders often take up to four to five hours to complete. If you
feel you are not physically prepared, we would love to have your
assistance as a volunteer. We expect many more riders this year in support
of the Hayes family and extra help is greatly needed.

Registration Form.
We are looking for any assistance in
seeking extra sponsors this year (our normal goal is only to break even)
and day of event assistance. If you could help us get the word out. We
seem to have many people who are willing to help and I'm sure we can
really help the Hayes family.
Thank you,

Our Mission: To maintain, protect, and expand
trail access for recreational use in an environmentally and socially
responsible manner to insure quality recreational experiences for all.
This will be accomplished through the following types of activities: work
cooperatively with Land Managers such as BLM and US Forest Service to
develop, protect and maintain trails, educate users on trail usage and
care, sponsor a local chapter of the National Mountain Bike Patrol, hold
non-competitive events. Barta is a IMBA affiliated club.
Since our organization we have been very active in local mountain bike
trail access issues including the following:
• Southern Nevada Lands Bill
• Sloan Canyon National Recreation Area Management Plan Development
• Spring Mountain Perimeter Trail Development
• Wetlands Park Trail Development
• Various trail projects in Cottonwood area of Red Rock NCA
Our History:
Barta was organized in 2001 from the remnants of the Las Vegas Trails
Coalition in order to establish a mountain bike trail advocacy
organization in Southern Nevada. In the spring of 2004 Barta obtained the
501c-3 status from the Internal Revenue Service.
In the coming years we are excited to be involved as the Sloan Canyon NCA
develops into a functioning conservation area with many exciting trails
for mountain bikers, equestrian, and hikers to enjoy. We are also
dedicated to the completion of the Spring Mountain Perimeter Trail
Development and the further care and maintenance of our existing trail
systems.
