Back in February we reported on the progress of the fundraising efforts for the Richmond Regional Ride Center, a mountain bike trail-building project at Pocahontas State Park. Funding has and will come from many different sources — private individuals, foundations, grants, governments, etc. The effort needs over $800,000 just to put in the mountain bike-specific trails. A fully tricked out trailhead facility will be over a $1 million.

In a couple of days, trail-loving Central Virginians will have the opportunity to contribute to the pot without giving a dime. Bell, the helmet manufacturer, is giving away $100,000 total to three separate trail-building projects in the United States. The Pocahontas trail project is one of five East Coast finalists for a third of that $100,000. And the money is awarded by voting, which runs today through May 18th. You can only vote once from each email address you have, so be sure to use up all your votes — and tell your friends to do the same.
