Vail Valley Mountain Bike Association - an IMBA affiliate

Just a quick note here until further information and structure is available: Through a collective effort, Eagle County cyclists have created the Vail Valley Mountain Bike Association. This will be the Valley's first IMBA affiliated mountain bike advocacy group and through this partnership, we will be able to work directly with the International Mountain Bike Association based out of Boulder, CO. IMBA's presence in the land management negotiation process has been monumental in establishing sustainable trail access around the world. Now, the Vail Valley will be able to more effectively work with land managers and organizations to help work side by side with the Hidden Gems initiative in an effort to help keep access to bikes on our public lands.

More than just a legal resource, VVMBA will also host dedicated trail work days and open the possibility to build more sustainable trails in the Vail Valley. Please show your support and become a member today. You can sign up at Mountain Pedaler in Eagle, as well as Moontime Cyclery and The Kind Bikes in Edwards. The initial year long membership fee will be $20 for an individual and $30 for a family.

Happy Trails!
