New This Year: Group Rides with the CMBTA
Directors Alex and Rebecca have been hard at work planning group rides of all levels to get riders across the coast united and riding together! Group rides are an amazing way to get to know our trail systems and meet new riding buddies. Scroll to the bottom to see our events calendar.
Can't wait to see you on the trails!
The Classic: Trail Days
Every month we ask you to come out and look after the trails with us. This is a great way to give back to the trails you love while learning new skills alongside a great community. It's a fun and rewarding way to meet fellow riders and play a part in what keeps our network thriving.... Plus there's pizza and a group ride afterwards.
What have we done so far this year?
January 25 Trail Day - Lower Sprockids
An energized team of hard workers and keen kiddos came to tune up the berms and rake the debris from Doug's Detention, Pineapple Express, and the Climb trail.
Sponsored by H&H Developments.
March 1st - West Sechelt, Big Tree Area
This small and mighty crew put in big effort on Parbac, Ken's trail and Kai's trail and were rewarded with a sunny group ride and a delicious apres at Brickers Cider.
Sponsored by Sunshine Coast Community Forest.
March 29 - Roberts Creek, Mach Chicken
This popular trail brought out a big group of volunteers of all ages. Despite the snow and rain 40 people turned up to refresh the flowy berms and jumps and dig new drainage. After the digging was done a big happy group of all ages headed out to ride all that fresh dirt.
Sponsored by Western Craft Contracting.
Huge thank you to our sponsors and to all the volunteers who show up and get their hands dirty!
