On Monday, March 18th The Trek Store of Independence is holding a fundraiser for Earth Riders Trail Association, Inc. ERTA is a recreational trails advocacy group whose mission is to increase the quantity and quality of sustainable single-track trails throughout the Midwest.

Gary Fisher, mountain bike inventor and off-road pioneer will be in town taking part in the day’s activities. To kick off the day’s events a morning bike ride with Fisher is planned. It will be a leisurely paced ride so participants can talk with Gary as they ride through Eastern Jackson County. Gary will also be at the Trek Store of Independence for a meet and greet from 7pm-9pm. The Trek Store of Independence is providing refreshments during the evening event.
