What a busy month June was! We are still crunching numbers from BUMP N Grind. Excluding a few pending transactions, it looks like we made just over $26,000 on the race this year. Timing hiccups aside, I think it was an incredible party and hope we can take it up another step next year. We are in the final stages of getting a bike put together to raffle off and raise a few more dollars. We’ve got a lot of big expansion possibilites coming up and these funds will really help us move forward in our goals for global MTB domination.
As always, make sure your membership is up to date and bug your friends about joining. We now have the 6th largest club in Sorba.
See you on the trails,
Chase Draper

BUMP SWAG
We got a new supply of BUMP shirts and hats that we will be selling at our events. Also we have a few more BNG jerseys that should arrive in a couple weeks. We picked up a new sponsor for BNG in Pedal Industries. We worked with them and put together a design for the duffel bag you can can see at the link below. You’ll be able to order them via Pedal Industries. Insert code CENTRALALABAMAMOUNTAINBIKER at check out for a discount and BUMP will get 10% of the purchase. Our store offers a BUMP Changing Poncho, Race Day Bag, and Race Calendar.
Volunteering
We’d like to expand on our social events this year. If you would like to be on an event planning committee let us know. Also we’d like to plan more regular group rides. If you would like to lead a regular group ride of any type shoot us a message and we’ll figure out how to make it work.
