We work with many diverse groups such as land managers, elected officials and educational institutions to promote continues and expanded access for mountain biking and cycling on public and pricate land. We are stewards of the land we recreate on and coordinate efforts to build or maintain trails. We also promote biking and trail building through our education programs and events. 0 0 376812 Trail Stewardship / Advocacy: This year we hosted 24 public trail days, added four new trails to Galbraith Mountain, and brushed over 39 miles of trail. We added a skills zone to the Cedar Dust jumps area, a new blue flow trail, completed the lower work on Mabel's Monkey Wrench, and a dual slalom track. We also re-built the Cedar Dust pro jump line. Our continued additions of diverse riding areas allow riders to progress their skills in a well-built environment. We continued to work on trails located on the Department of Natural Resources property, including starting a new downhill only and multi-use trail on Stewart Mountain.The Birchwood pump track was built in May 2023. Continuing to build pump tracks throughout Whatcom County helps us achieve our goal of promoting bicycle-based recreation opportunities to all our community. At the Waterfront Pump Track, we built the Tile Tank Jump Lines and those opened in Summer 2023. 127679 230376 Events: We hosted an eleven race series on Wednesday nights called the Whatcom World Cup that showcased our trails on Galbraith Mountain. The race series had 566 total racers (as young as 7 years old) and many first-time racers. Our longest running fundraiser, Shoot The Trails, was held in person at a new venue, The Fisherman's Pavilion, with over 1,000 tickets sold for the event and it was a big success. We also hosted the beer garden at the Northwest Tune-Up and, with over 100 volunteers, we served beer at the three-day festival. 68698 Education: WMBC After School Ride Clubs (ASBC): 20+ Bellingham elementary and middle school clubs, including Flying Squirrels girls riding group. This is an increase of 12 clubs from 2022. ASBC's groups ride spring and fall on weekly rides. This program reached over 331 students this year. We had over 80 volunteer ride leaders support this program.Youth Trail Corps (YTC): A cornerstone of our youth programs gives any interested middle schooler/teen youth the opportunity to explore how to sustainably build and maintain trails. We are going into our 8th year with this preteen/teen program. They worked hard all year on Galbraith Mountain focusing on a variety of issues, strategies and solutions to help our trails run even better. We served over 37 teens in 2023 and offered 13 Youth Trail Corps days and two summer camps.WMBC/Vamos Outdoors Project: This program is an ongoing program for multiple groups of ELL (English Language Learners) youth ranging from grades K-12. We are engaging youth in our community that normally do not access trails and the outdoors. Mountain biking provides youth with appreciation of the outdoors, physical and mental challenges, and exciting engagement with their surrounding environment. In 2023, we served approximately 208 Latinx youth for weekly programming and one-day community outreach. We had 13 volunteer ride leaders help support this program.JoyRiders: The JoyRiders is a mountain bike club that is all about getting women (18+) out on the trails and having fun. In 2023, the JoyRiders hosted 191 riders over 21 group rides. They also held a very successful fundraiser at Transition Bike Company, a trail workday, sponsored a women's only race, and held a maintenance clinic. This program is supported by 11 very dedicated volunteers.WMBC Ambassador Program: In 2023, we launched the Ambassador Program to help foster a positive interaction on the trails we manage. We have 40 trail ambassadors who help folks navigate various areas, provide etiquette reminders and directional assistance, and help support our other fundraisers and events. 573189 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 X Kelsey Hackem 2063998347 770 East Holly Street Bellingham WA 98229 Ryan BalFour Board President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Glenn Gervais Vice President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Erica Kutz Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Liz Waltman Secretary (Past) 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JP Slagle Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Luna Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Spencer Anthony-Cahill Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 John Commiskey Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Clark Wiese Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Salisbury Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Brown Executive Director 40.00 X 62400 0 0 Erica McWilliams Bookkeeper 8.00 X 7602 0 0 70002 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 558838 81122 558838 Trail Events 900099 198114 198114 198114 1835 1835 42866 10604 32262 32262 115 115 115 791164 230376 0 1950 70004 65104 4900 165812 154205 11607 22210 20655 1555 715 715 3200 3200 18589 18589 1060 1060 7374 1571 1690 4113 2967 2967 6000 6000 8735 8735 14105 14105 8942 8942 Event expenses 135576 131014 4562 Trail building supplies 92721 92721 Education program suppl 48557 48557 Merchant service fees 16308 4506 11802 46159 27532 3213 15414 669034 573189 58894 36951 206661 276763 206133 215040 7750 35653 15808 15362 110935 44649 63788 66286 13921 19276 514061 628380 9610 5970 9610 5970 X 484451 612410 20000 10000 504451 622410 514061 628380 122130 4732 -8903 0 X 0 0 0 X 485702 276761 646413 523745 558838 2491459 485702 276761 646413 523745 558838 2491459 50066 2441393 966 876 477 319 1835 4473 152 201 150 141 115 759 2496691 684390 0.97790 0.96050 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Miscellaneous - 2019 Amount: $ 152. 2020 Amount: $ 201. 2021 Amount: $ 150. 2022 Amount: $ 141. 2023 Amount: $ 115.
