PennDot Adopt a Highway Trash Clean-Up

This Friday, April 26th, is Bear Meadows Road Trash Clean-Up Day! Meet in the Galbraith Gap parking lot at 5:30pm (or whenever you can get there) and then we'll head over to the home of Carol Slagle Younkins for happies following the clean-up. Bring a snack or beverage to share if you wish. See you Friday!

Friends of NMBA,

The Nittany Mountain Biking Association has become the primary trail maintenance, trail work, and trail building volunteer base for the multi-use trail system in Rothrock State Forest.  Below you will find NMBA's 2013 Trail Plan, which outlines specific objectives for the coming year and beyond, along with a PowerPoint presentation that gives more detailed information on equipment needs and provides maps showing the location of proposed future trail possibilities. Please take a moment to review these documents to see what NMBA has in store for the future of the shared trail system in Rothrock State Forest.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit Pennsylvania corporation, NMBA is currently seeking donations to cover equipment costs for the 2013 trail work year. In the past 2 years, NMBA members and volunteers have donated over 6,000 hours to maintain and improve Rothrock's trails. Contributions from the community allow us to purchase and maintain the tools and supplies required to take care of the trails.

Business donations of $250.00 or more prior to March 31, 2013, will secure your logo placement on the back of the 2013 NMBA TShirt. Donations may be made payable to "NMBA" via mail (PO Box 1215, State College, PA, 16804) or via a PayPal transfer. To make a donation via PayPal, login to your PayPal Account, click the tab "Send Money" and in the "To" space, type This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ; be sure to note "donation" in the optional email message space.

If your donation amount is $250.00 or more, please forward your logo to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to ensure placement on the back of the TShirt. This year NMBA will be distributing a moisture wicking (tech) tee to our 2013 membership, which numbered almost 200 members last year, and continues to grow each year.

If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ).

Thank you for your continued support of NMBA!

Member Rob Sharer would like to extend an offer to NMBA to help us raise funds towards our goal of purchasing (or renting) a mini-excavator. Rob Sharer, of Sharer Fiberglass Repair, will donate ALL of the money from the first “Tub to Shower Conversion” (with grab bars) job generated as a result of NMBA advertising. Thereafter, Rob will donate $100.00 from any additional “Tub to Shower Conversion”. Whoever calls Rob with an order simply needs to say it’s for NMBA and when he gets paid, we receive the money!

For those who may not know, in order to do a “Tub to Shower Conversion”, Rob cuts a portion of the dam away on the bathtub, making it easier to enter the newly transformed Shower. This process can greatly improve the life of the physically impaired. To see examples of Rob’s work, go to http://www.sharerfiberglassrepair.com, single click on the words, “Tub to Shower Conversion”, which take you into a lot of examples… scroll down to any of the galleries, single click on any of the pictures and that gallery will open up. If you would like to learn more about Rob’s “Tub to Shower Conversion”, please contact him at 814-238-7700 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
