LET THE SPRING MOUNTAIN BIKE SEASON BEGIN

Who's stoked for spring? We are! BMA is getting ready to kick off the 2023 season with Skills Clinics, Group Rides and Trail Building. C'mon out and join us!
 

GROUP RIDES


New to mountain biking? Looking to make some new trail buddies? BMA’s group rides are always fun – and all of our rides are free and open to the public.

Rides start in April and run through September taking place on fun trails in and near Boulder County. Choose from our Gurlz Ride for the ladies and Trails & Ale for intermediate to advanced riders. Starting in May, look for Knobby Wednesday for beginning riders, Less Hiking More Biking on eMTBs, or an Inclusion ride for BIPOC or Latinos.

SKILLS CLINICS


However you ride your bike, we’ll help you ride it better! Be more confident and in control – and have more fun on the trail. Our mountain bike skills clinics are taught by Bike Instructor Certification Program (BICP) certified instructors and give you the bike handling skills you need to take your riding ability to the next level. As a non-profit, we keep our clinic prices low so that everyone can have the opportunity to learn to ride better and have More Fun (on) Trails! Check out our April and May clinics now, additional clinics through September coming soon.

TRAIL BUILDING


In April, join BMA for a 3-hour Tuesday morning ride & dig! For the past 2 years, we have been working our way up Picture Rock performing maintenance and improvements. The end is in sight, we are within a mile of the Wild Turkey junction. Please plan to ride your bike 40-50 minutes up to the work site. We’ll be fixing sections that are holding water and mud, keeping singletrack single, and building alternate features.
