The council voted to donate $250 to the MECCA Mountain Bike Club to support the May 1–3 festival at Buckhorn RV Resort; MECCA representatives described trail resources, youth outreach and e-bike (Class 1) guidance.
Terri Bennett, representing the MECCA Mountain Bike Club, told the Ferron City Council on Feb. 11 that the club draws racers and trail users from Emery County and beyond and supports trail stewardship and youth safety programs. Bennett described three mountain-bike-focused trail systems in the county and said MECCA partners with land managers on trail repair and public-lands events.
