Welcome


We’d like to bid a warm welcome to our new friends!

This website provides a framework for information about the chapter: our mission, our trails, our calendar and events, and so forth. But the real chapter isn’t on the internet – it’s people like you, enthusiastic mountain bikers. You’ll find the chapter out on the trails: hosting group rides, doing trail work, running races, and helping others. Most of all, riding.

Most of our conversations occur on the statewide MMBA forums and on Facebook. Feel free to introduce yourself, ask questions, and get involved. It really doesn’t matter whether the bumper sticker on your car says IMBA, MMBA, or MCMBA – you’re among friends.

    Awareness Signs

    One of the common refrains from our recent membership survey was the need for more chapter promotion at our trails. We agree. MCMBA board member John Cox made arrangements for the printing of a stack of these cool weatherproof signs. Look for them to start popping up at a trail near you!
