Sure, you know Ned Overend is a distinguished cyclist, but did you know that he is a big trails advocate who works actively with IMBA? Besides being a great cyclist and generous person, and despite being a very busy man, Ned still manages to promote trail building and advocacy on the local, as well as the international, level. Ned will be the featured guest speaker at our August Social Event. Come to our social event and find out what makes Ned tick!

Annual events

• California Trail Days (late April) – Each year ROMP conducts trail work and leads rides as part of this state-wide event.
• Swap Meet (last Sunday in April) – Each year ROMP hosts a swap meet. The swap meet is a fund-raiser for ROMP and a place where cyclists can purchase road and mountain bike parts, tools, frames, complete bikes, clothing and accessories. Per-person admission charge is minimal. The meet is held behind the Cupertino Bike Shop, 10493 S. De Anza Blvd. (two blocks south of Stevens Creek Blvd.). Call 408-255-2217 for prices on swap spaces.
• National Trail Days (early June) – Each year ROMP conducts trail work and leads rides as part of this national event.
• Member Appreciation Picnic (late summer) – We gather annually for a picnic featuring rides of varying levels, games, and socialization.
• Board Elections (late November) – ROMP's board is elected annually by member voting at a regular meeting.
• ROMP 'n STOMP – The first ROMP 'n STOMP was held in 1989 when 46 mountain cyclists and 26 equestrians came together for a group ride and barbecue. This event demonstrated that equestrians and cyclists can share the trails without conflict. Since then, many more ROMP 'n STOMPs have occurred, the event has become an annual tradition, and it has even had a mention in Outside magazine.
