The purpose of the plan is to lay out the club's goals and objectives and strategies for achieving them, while also exploring the risks, means of assessment, and succession plan so the organization can remain strong in the face of foreseen and unforeseen challenges.

Who we are
Pend Oreille Pedalers was established in 2004 as a bicycle club and in 2008 incorporated as a non-profit 501c3. Our vision is to build an interconnected system of bike trails for riders of varying ability levels for the benefit of Sandpoint and surrounding areas.
Mission
- Maintain & Protect existing mountain bike trails & cycling routes
- Expand opportunities for mountain biking & cycling
- Advocate for the interests of mountain bikers with land managers

How you can help
Our ability to fulfill our mission and work towards our vision depends on community support. There are many ways you can help:
- Join or donate: Building and maintaining great trails costs money. Your annually renewed membership and one time donations are essential to our success.
- Volunteer: We have a staff of one part-time director, which means nearly all our labor is volunteer. Trail maintenance takes place year round, on dirt and snow. Check out our calendar for upcoming volunteer opportunities.
- Get involved: We depend on a volunteer board of directors and active club members, with monthly club meetings from March through November, and weekly group rides from spring through fall.
- Sponsor: If you're a local business who sees value in trails and recreation, consider becoming a corporate member. More information coming soon.
Road Ride Routes and Calendar
The road riding scene is alive and well in Sandpoint! There's a new ad hoc group of road cyclists that is using Heylo to coordinate and communicate about ride. All are invited to join!
We've recently added a Road and Gravel Routes page to our website. Check it out, and let us know if you have routes you think we should add to the page!
Have you heard about the Idaho Panhandle Gravel Series (IPGS)? Syringa Cyclery is organizing three gravel events this year, with POP as a beneficiary of all three. More information at Syringa Cyclery's website under "Idaho Panhandle Gravel Series."
