Thank You! $160,000 Raised for Storm-Damaged Trails

April 17, 2023
With your support, our crew will complete essential trail restoration work in Soquel Demonstration State Forest.

Well, y’all, we did it! Together, we set a new record for fundraising. Our “Return to Flow” Ibis giveaway pulled in over $160,000!

We’re stunned by the outpouring of support you’ve shown in recent weeks. When we first launched the giveaway, we expected we’d hit $100k or so… you went above and beyond to give more than ever before and support local trails.

Funds from our “Return to Flow’ giveaway will be used to restore trail access at Soquel Demonstration State Forest. Our Trail Crew was able to get out there at the very end of last week, and the damage is extensive. Downed trees, widowmakers, water damage—we’ve got our work cut out for us and we’re excited to get volunteers out there as soon as it is safe.

And the winners are…

Catherine Chittenden is taking home the grand prize Ibis of her choosing!

Peter McMillan won the Ibis carbon wheels!

Brian Knight won the $500 Velocio shopping spree!

Matthew Schram won the FOX fork!

Thank you, sponsors!

We couldn’t do this without our fantastic sponsors. Big thanks to the crews at Ibis Cycles, Velocio Apparel, and FOX Factory for making the magic happen!

We’ve partnered with Ibis since the Flow Trail was first built back in 2014, and are grateful for their ongoing support over the years. Together, we’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for trail stewardship. What a way to close out this year’s giveaway!
