Subaru Sabie Classic Mountain
Bike Race
 As
an automotive brand, Subaru is undeniably at the forefront
of technology, yet it is also tough, rugged, reliable and
designed to work hard and play hard. As most people know,
the entire Subaru range enjoys a significant dynamic
advantage through our symmetrical All Wheel Drive system.
This means that, whatever the conditions, a Subaru enjoys a
grip and traction advantage that enables the driver to cope
with the unexpected. This has made Subaru one of the most
successful players in rallying all over the world.
In some ways mountain biking
is the same: the rider and his (or her) equipment has to
have the capacity to cope with a variety of arduous
conditions, and the sport therefore rests well with the core
values of our brand. Through a sponsorship of this nature,
we also hope to promote a higher awareness of cycling in
general and make the roads a safer place for those on two
wheels.

 Our
purpose, through the concept of an interesting event, is two
fold:- 1. To responsibly organise a multi day paired
mountain bike event attracting the interest of both local
and international competitors. We aim to bring the challenge
of this multi-disciplined event within reasonable reach of
all levels of athlete. 2. Through associated sponsorship and
media interest we aim to promote tourism and conservation of
this area for the benefit of its people. By co-involvement
of the local populous we shall strive toward improved
awareness of the natural assets of the area and a resultant
interest in its preservation. Some of the other important
objectives of the event are raising funds for community
education and create an awareness of the tourism potential
of this magnificent region, thereby opening job
opportunities and educating the residents about the
importance of retaining the natural beauty of the area, and
the various conservation issues around this.

Subaru Outdoor Life
When you see a Subaru driving down the road or at the
trailhead, chances are it will be loaded with a kayak,
canoe, mountain bike, skis or snowboard. That's because The
Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive System provides drivers
with superior performance in all types of conditions -
essential for transporting outdoor sports enthusiasts to the
river, the mountains and those "off the beaten
path" destinations with safety and confidence. You
could say that Subaru is the official vehicle of the
outdoors.
Make no mistake, this is no
idle marketing hype. Subaru has a long history of supporting
active lifestyle enthusiasts and the organizations that are
important to them. Together with our partners, Subaru hosts
hundreds of outdoor events each year from coast to coast.
This approach helps us learn more about our customers'
interests, and enables us to demonstrate how Subaru
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive can complement their active
lifestyles. Simply put, it's much more than hanging a banner
on a mountain or sponsoring a racing team - it's the real
deal. It's what makes us unique.

IMBA Trail Care Crew
 Internationally
Subaru has been supporting mountain biking for many
years. Subaru of America, Inc. recently renewed its
support of the acclaimed Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew through
2006. Launched in 1997, the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew
program has led more than 1,000 trail projects, trained more
than 35,000 people in sustainable trail building techniques
and logged half a million miles of coast-to-coast travel in
its official Subaru vehicles.
The award-winning program
includes two full-time, professional teams of trail experts
who travel North America year-round, leading IMBA
Trailbuilding Schools, meeting with government officials and
land managers, and working with IMBA-affiliated groups to
improve mountain biking opportunities.
"Thanks to Subaru of
America's renewed support, IMBA's Trail Care Crews will
continue to work their magic to improve trails for mountain
bikers and other trail users," said IMBA executive
director Tim Blumenthal. "This long-term partnership
continues to reap huge benefits for our sport."
"Subaru is excited to
extend our partnership with IMBA," said Tim Bennett,
director of marketing programs, Subaru of America, Inc.
"The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew is an excellent
outreach program that educates thousands of mountain biking
enthusiasts on how to build and maintain mountain bike
trails nationwide."
The Crews teach
"sustainable" trailbuilding, which means building
trails that last a long time and require minimal
maintenance. This helps reduce trail damage, protects the
environment, and enhances visitor enjoyment.
The Crews travel in 2004
Subaru Outbacks provided by Subaru of America - the company
that has been IMBA's leading sponsor since 1997.
The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care
Crew program has inspired great volunteer trailwork across
the U.S. and abroad - a big help to government agencies and
land managers who have limited funding for trail
construction and upkeep.
The direct result: thousands
of new and improved trails in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico
and several European countries.
