News
Our Spring 2026 issue of the CVTA Trail Connections newsletter is now available!
Some of the CVTA Board Members describe their reasons for volunteering.
After multiple terms as CVTA president, Neal Falk is passing the torch to Erica Roselius. Many of you have probably met Erica at the events she has organized, including our recent Run the Valley 5K which enjoyed great success with over 60 participants.
In Erica’s words, “I joined the board several years ago because I love our valley’s trails and CVTA’s mission to connect our communities to the outdoors through those trails. As CVTA president, I am excited to continue to build on our mission by creating more events and opportunities for our region’s residents to experience our many trail systems and connect with each other.”
As a fitness trainer, endurance athlete and outdoor enthusiast, Erica brings a uniquely relevant perspective to our organization’s leadership. Plus, we still have Neal’s guidance as a director at large on our board.

When we first met Troy Phillips of Battle Born Wine, he sliced the cork off a bottle of Dom Perignon with a sabre! CVTA is excited to have that kind of energy sponsoring the Spoker Ride again this year! 🚲🃏![]()

Battle Born Wine and Whiskey has been curating an extraordinary selection of fine wine, whiskey, bourbon, craft beer and spirits for over a decade, but what really sets Battle Born apart is the experience. Troy hosts unforgettable community events including Vino and Vinyl, where each participant picks a record from his extensive collection to spin while the wine flows, as well as whiskey tastings and education classes. ![]()

Community involvement has always been at the heart of what Troy does, and his generous support of CVTA reflects that perfectly. Thank you!![]()
