Congrats to our MCMBA volunteer of the year – Michael Faulk!
For the past several years Michael has invested much of his life into building and polishing Lakeshore Park’s trail features, especially the signature Pump Track. If you’ve ridden Lakeshore you’ve probably seen him out there, shovel in hand, tweaking a lip or berm until the flow was perfect.
Thanks Michael!
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.
