This is the theme under which this year\u2019s IMBA Europe Summit \u2014 to be held in Bolta\u00f1a, in the MTB Kingdoms territory, from September 16th to 18th \u2014 will focus on the connections that mountain biking fosters between people, nature, and the development of rural communities.<\/p>\n

Mountain biking advocates, trail builders, land managers, policymakers, and industry leaders from across Europe will gather in the Aragonese Pyrenees to highlight the importance and sustainability of mountain biking in the development of rural areas.<\/p>\n

Keynotes, roundtable discussions, workshops, and of course, mountain bike rides \u2014 all designed to share different perspectives and help shape the future of mountain biking in Europe.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
