NEMBAfest @ Wompatuck State Park 2008

We threaded the eye of Hurricane Hanna with this year's festival, the Big Kahuna of the Kona Bicycles Mountain Bike Adventure Series. Despite media-induced paranoia of doom and wet gloom, the skies remained clear and hundreds or riders of all ages turned out for a great day of trail riding, bicycle demos and killer BBQ with Team Schier.  A huge thanks to all the many volunteers, industry supporters, and especially Steve Gammon of Wompatuck State Park for making this such a wonderful event.

Some of the many volunteers that make NEMBAfest possible.  You guyz are the best!

Team Schier brought out all their BBQ friends to present a sumptous feast and raise funds for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. We thank Northeast Family Farms for their support of Team Schier and the Pan Mass Challenge.

The Drunk Race.  Spin around 10 times, then look for your bike ... then try to ride it.  Sound easy? Ha!  Try it some time!
