RFMBA works with all of the public land managers in our region to help bring you the best mountain biking experiences possible. It often takes years to complete the planning process to a place where projects are “shovel-ready”. The work behind the scenes includes open space management plans, trail and bike park plans, master plans, cultural and botanical studies, land exchanges, and much more.
Below are some of the projects RFMBA has been involved in since our founding, advocating for and securing better mountain bike experiences whenever possible.
