Committed to A Future of Mountain Biking

Without trails and people dedicated to trail maintenance where will you ride in the future? People who ride regularly generally take for granted the settings they place themselves in. Are you one of these people? Do you want to help and dedicate yourself to the future of the sports you love?

There is a five step program that you to can follow.
First put down the beer bottle, the x-box controller, or the TV remote and get of your duff.
Then follow the real outline as mandated by your local trail society. For out of towners you can generally find your local trail society or community advocates through outfits such as IMBA (International Mountain bike Association) or Bikes Belong.
Below follows a list of links regarding your local and regional advocates. If you know someone or somebody who isn't represented on this list please just forward us a link and we will update the lists as we go.
