Join us on Iceman Day to help the Island Lake Badlands get ready for Global Fat Bike Day! There’s 14+ miles in the Badlands and we are opening up a couple new sections just for GFBD.
Bring your leaf rake, garden rake, shovel, Pulaski, Mattock, McLeod, loppers, etc. – we will clean up existing trail and add some new trail. Plenty to do for all ages and all skill levels.
Imagine joining a group ride and bragging to your friends that “I built that!” Yep! It’s that cool to be a trail volunteer.
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.
