Annual Meeting
Troegs, Food, Free Bike, $1000 Scholarship = More Trails
SAMBA is excited to invite you to our Annual Meeting — a night to celebrate trails, community, and the people who make it all happen! This year, we’re thrilled to partner with Tröegs Independent Brewing, who crafted a special Scratch Dark Lager just for this event. Even better, proceeds from all food and drink purchased that evening will go directly toward supporting local trail projects with the voucher — so every pint poured helps build and maintain the trails you love.
Hear about SAMBA’s exciting plans for 2026, including new trail initiatives and advocacy efforts across the region. Also, learn about the new PICL Student Board position and how to apply. We’ll also feature a panel discussion with local bike shops, where you’ll get an inside look at their services, stories, and what keeps them passionate about supporting our local cycling community.
