Combine your love of cycling and helping others by joining Bike Patrol!
Bike Patrol, as a branch of the National Ski Patrol (NSP), leverages the mission of this legacy organization by helping keeping outdoor activities safe. Specific to Bike Patrol, these volunteers:
- Frequently ride local trails / paths
- Assist in medical and mechanical issues
- Educate trail users of proper etiquette
- Inform land managers and trail users of trail conditions
- Participate at local races and events
Once you are certified Bike Host or Patroller, we ask you patrol a minimum of 20 hours on MCMBA trails and /or events each year and report your volunteer hours. Because of the investment the MCMBA is making in training, a commitment of more than one season is expected.
