Since the collapse of trailz043 our mountain bike community in Sint Pieters and the surrounding area  has had no clear focal point to ensure our interests as mountain bikers are taken into account. We would therefore like to set up a foundation to ensure our interests are taken into account by government and land owners when making decisions that impact us and also start to build up the club again. To do this we will need to raise money for registering our foundation and also setting up the foundation account.

This is where we need your help, we need to raise funds for this. We therefore ask everyone to provide a 50euro donation to our fund raiser (or what you can afford) and we will list you as a volunteer.

Once we establish the foundation we will inform local landowners and start to organize regular foundation meetings to discuss ongoing topics, issues and planning.

We will also set up several MTB whats app groups for our volunteers with different abilities and types of riding. For example XC and Enduro group rides and possibly also a kids weekend rides with experienced Dads and Moms. This will allow us to get together to do what we love.   

Core Purpose of the Sint Pieters Trailz Foundation.
