MMBA ANNUAL UPDATE | Spring 2025

The Trails Are Calling — Are You Ready?

The snow has melted, the dirt is dry, and our trusty steeds are whispering our names from their winter storage locations—the 2025 mountain biking season is here!

2024: A Year of Growth and Momentum

Volunteer-powered trail upgrades across the province.

MMBA board growth - Welcome to Mike Paré, David Lane, and Adam Moore!

Successful fundraising - Our association can finally cover its own overhead costs thanks to fundraising, allowing us to focus on the real work!

Birds Hill Progress - For the first time in a couple of years, our board has been in a situation to make positive progress with sanctioning Nimowin Pits!

Community Support - Our database has grown allowing us to successfully provide mentorship and connections for various aspiring trail stewards.

Thanks to your support, the MMBA community continues to grow stronger every year.

Major trail upgrades around the province not associated to MMBA:
