OMBA Awarded $10,000 "Bikes Belong" Grant  

Written by Pete Axson   
bike check

OMBA is proud to announce their receipt of a grant in the amount of $10,000.00 from Bikes Belong to assist with the construction of the Ross Prairie Singletrack Extension Project!
The following is the press release from Bikes Belong:

The Ocala Mountain Bike Association (OMBA) will use our $10,000 grant to help build 2.5 miles of singletrack that will provide southern access, via the Ross Prairie Trailhead, to the Cross Florida Greenway. Once on the greenway, riders can access 68 miles of mountain bike trails, including the legendary Santos Trail System—an IMBA Epic. This new link will enable residents in surrounding neighborhoods and the visitors from the nearby Ross Prairie campground to ride instead of drive to great trails. Bikes Belong funding will help OMBA hire a professional contractor who can work with the challenging soil and topography along the trail corridor, and will also serve as part of the match for their Recreational Trails Program grant. This project has received tremendous support from local bike shops, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and the state’s Office of Greenways and Trails.
