Renew or Join Online www.NEMBA.org TREADLINES NEMBA Builds First New Trail on ‘Nam Property On June 11, approximately 50 people braved the heat and humidity to help cut the first new trail on NEMBA’s parcel. A special thank you goes out to the riders from all over Massachusetts who gave up their Saturday to make this trail a reality. By late Saturday afternoon, there were a lot of exhausted workers, but one awesome trail emerged that everyone can enjoy for years to come. The Vietnam Land Management Committee with help from Scott “Rayburn Trails” Nelson and Dane Berke laid out a very twisty and technical trail that is designed to appeal to technical XC riders and freeriders. Months of hard work and planning went into the creation of the trail. The committee packed 0.8 mile of trail into a small section of our parcel while incorporating as many of the natural techni- cal features as possible. As a result, there are many rock gardens, jumps, drops, trannies, as well as bail lines incorporated into the trail. Essentially, the trail is a compact version of Vietnam itself. Due to the length of the trail there is more work to be done and NEMBA will post another trail build- ing day to apply the finishing touches.

Please make the appraisals as uniform as possible, based on the guidelines below. IRS guidelines suggest a “market value”— however, there is NOT a large market for second-hand bicycles hence the values typically are quite low. The IRS suggests that valu- ations be in line with what a person would generally receive at a "rummage sale", "flea market", or "swap meet", i.e., linked to realistic fair market re-sale values.
