2012 Virginia Off Road Series
VORS PayDirt Program
The Virginia Off Road Series, in collaboration with the Friends
of Pocahontas State Park, the Virginia State Parks and IMBA, has created the VORS PayDirt Program to bring awareness to our trails concerns and our athletes that pitch in to help. Without our trails, we could not enjoy our incredible sport. Without great volunteers, we would not have these great trails. VORS PayDirt will shed light on both and payback where we can.
We hope you will join us to help protect and maintain these igreat trails. All advovacy groups and trail users are also encouraged to get involved! Advocacy groups please contact us and let us know how we can help.
IMBA AFFILIATE
TEAMING FOR TRAILS
VORS PayDirt has joined IMBA as an affilitiate member to take part in their 'Team For Trails' Project. VORS PayDirt will work with Nationally Recognized Trail Advocate, IMBA, to bring even more awareness to Virginia's trail concerns. Along the way, volunteers will earn even more possible rewards for their efforts!

organization defined as:
a. An organization or club committed to building, maintaining, or improving
new or existing public singletrack trails that are accessible to mountain
bikers in Virginia.
b. The organization or club has been established before Jan 1, 2009 and
(Contact us if your club is new!)
c. The organization or club is public in it’s membership and trailwork
schedule and allows any volunteer to participate.
2. Trailwork that is qualified to be counted towards
VORS points is defined as:
a. Trailwork performed through an organization or club. Performed between
January 1 and October 10th of the same year points are assigned
b. Trailwork that is scheduled and announced through public means (i.e.
website posting or email distribution list) at least 2 days in advance
of trailwork.
c. Hours to be performed for manual, volunteer labor on singletrack trails
accessible to mountain bikes in Virginia and documented with a sign-in
sheet by the organization.
3. Hours are to be reported to Virginia Off Road
Series by athlete:
a. Filling in online ‘Athlete Trail Worksheet’ on the Virginia
Off Road Series website under ‘PayDirt’ immediately after
work is completed, final deadline is Oct 10th.
4. Contesting VORS Points for Paydirt hours:
a. The Virginia Off Road Series will only award points for hours submitted

Trail Worksheets’ will not be accepted.
b. If VORS incorrectly awards points for trailwork reported to us, please
notify us.
c. All trailwork must be permitted/sanction/authorized by an official/recognized
organization. Any illegal trailwork not only jeopardizes the future of

Your efforts greatly enhance the trails we use to ride and race. Without your assistance, these trails could not withstand the use they endure these days. The Virginia Off Road Series wishes to take it another step and award points for your time. These points will benefit you and possibly the team you race for towards becoming the next Virginia Off Road Series Champion!
The Virginia Off Road Series is now collaborating with IMBA's Teaming For Trails. This will give our volunteers and clubs possible access to other great rewards!
Thank you.
