Who We Are and What We Do

Our membership represents all levels of riders from beginners to experts. Our common passion for trail riding and stewardship brings us together as a collective voice. Our trail committee teaches volunteers how to design, build and maintain sustainable recreational mountain bicycle trails. Despite shrinking municipal resources, our volunteer work force can enhance outdoor recreational opportunities in public parks.

We educate bicycle riders and other trail users from the local community how to design sustainable trails, help perform trail maintenance and organize clean ups.

Our innovative interpretive trails foster an appreciation for the land. This self-guided trail teaches environmentally friendly bike riding skills, socially responsible trail etiquette tips and lessons about our native flora and fauna.

New trails if needed, are constructed in accordance with U.S. Forest Service guidelines, using established and respected International Mountain Bicycle Association (IMBA), as well as CLIMB developed techniques. The goal is a sustainable trail, resistant to erosion.

To reduce the burden on the municipality, We train volunteers how to become trail stewards, who will make regular visits to prune back trail growth, pick up trash and report illegal activities.

We train volunteers how to become trail patrol members (similar to ski patrols), who will provide an on-trail presence to inform and assist all trail users.

We create positive recreational uses in under utilized or problem sections of parklands. We teach trail users about invasive plant management to help protect our native plant and animal habitats.

Doctors are now prescribing exercise as prevention and treatment for some diseases. Bicycling and hiking is part of the solution to reducing the nation's healthcare and budget crisis. People will find how easy it is to fit bicycling into their lifestyle with access to more interesting outdoor recreational trails.
