Although Bikes Belong supported this project last year, Hurricane Ike destroyed nearly 2,000 volunteer-hours worth of GHORBA-built singletrack shortly after our grant award was given. This was a huge setback for the group and required that volunteers spend last year rebuilding rather than expanding their trail system. This grant will help provide matching funds for a Recreational Trails Program Grant, enabling GHORBA to proceed with their expansion efforts this year.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.elpasotimes.com\/sports\/ci_11963946\" href=\"http:\/\/www.elpasotimes.com\/sports\/ci_11963946\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Hundreds to compete in mountain bike race in Northeast<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nby El Paso Times &#8211; El Paso,TX,USA<br \/>\nRace coordinator Mike Rosson said he is hoping to get more than 200 racers from all over the region, including Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.bike4gus.com\/2009\/03\/22\/a-resume-especialy-for-all-the-new-people-following-our-progress\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bike4gus.com\/2009\/03\/22\/a-resume-especialy-for-all-the-new-people-following-our-progress\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Bike 4 Gus \u00c2\u00bb Blog Archive \u00c2\u00bb A resume especialy for all the new &#8230;<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nby tony.thompson<br \/>\nWell this is not my first long distance bike ride as you can probably see from the photoes.
