Subject: Support for Professional Mountain Bike Event in Fort Bragg Dear Fort Bragg City Council Members,
I am writing to express my strong support for bringing a professionally managed mountain bike event to Fort Bragg. I believe this initiative would greatly benefit our community in several ways.
Firstly, our area is perfectly suited for creating a recurring, annual mountain bike event. We are blessed with excellent terrain that would provide an ideal setting for such a competition. Moreover, this type of event has the potential to attract visitors from our target market consumer base. These visitors are likely to become repeat visitors, adding greater long-term value to our tax revenue.
Secondly, hosting a mountain bike event can help mitigate the effects of seasonality in our local tourism industry. By strategically scheduling the event during off-peak times, we can attract visitors year-round, leading to more stable economic activity throughout the year. This approach would benefit local businesses and contribute to a more robust local economy.
Lastly, I strongly recommend partnering with a professional bike event management company like Bike Monkey, which specializes in producing these types of events. Their expertise would be invaluable in ensuring the event's success. They have access to existing resources and biking networks, can offer comprehensive planning services, and will oversee quality assurance throughout the entire process.
I believe that bringing a professionally managed mountain bike event to Fort Bragg represents a significant opportunity for our community. It would showcase our natural beauty, boost our local economy, and potentially establish Fort Bragg as a premier destination for mountain biking enthusiasts.
Thank you for your consideration of this proposal. I look forward to the possibility of Fort Bragg hosting such an exciting and beneficial event.
Sincerely,
Jon Glidewell
