This Saturday, a race event to benefit Beacons of Hope is being held on our trails at Island Lake Recreation Area. It’s a good cause – go register!
(If you’re not up to the race, please consider volunteering. Course marking, road crossings, registration – think they’ll need help everywhere. It would be great to have a strong MCMBA volunteer presence – See their website for details.)
Our volunteers contribute in a variety of ways, from simply trimming branches, to organizing fund raising events with hundreds of participants, to designing some of the best trails in America. We track volunteer work hours and reward our outstanding volunteers at the end of each year.
Trail design, development, and maintenance are key components of the MCMBA and mountain biking in Michigan. Our trail design volunteers are trained by IMBA using standards developed by the National Park Service and National Forest Service.
Our mission: to preserve, protect, and promote mountain bike access and diverse riding opportunities on Metropolitan Detroit’s public lands through education, communication, and unified action.
