Don't make us beg, but we really do want you to join! In fact, for the price of a few cups of latte, you'll be enjoying a year's worth of fun (and you'll take special pleasure at knowing that you are helping the trails and are doing your part to keep mountain biking part of the New England trail experience.

But enough waxing eloquent, here's what you'll get:

• A year's worth of our great 'zine, SingleTracks. It has all the latest NEMBA happenings, news about what's going on in the New England mountain bike scene, and a bunch of general interest articles which provide hours of pleasurable bathroom reading.

• You'll be welcome to go to any of the hundreds of informal mountain bike rides led by our members for our members. We have rides all over the place, and this is a great way to visit great trails without getting lost.

• You'll be even more welcome to come to any of our volunteer work parties, or join one of our bicycle patrols. You'll probably think us crazy, but these events are lots of fun, and you'll never ride the trail in the same way after you've built one or treated a trail with a bit of TLC.

• Lastly, but not leastly, you'll get a cool sticker, a membership card (which frequently will score you a discount at your favorite bike shop) and a membership booklet.
