    Trail Build Days & Group Rides

    CMBTA

    CMBTA build days run 10am to 1pm: tools and guidance provided, just bring gloves, water and a snack. Group rides and the AGM are posted on their events page and Instagram.

Trail Build Days

The trails we ride are built and maintained by volunteers. CMBTA build days run 10am to 1pm, with tools and guidance provided. No experience needed: bring gloves, water and a snack.

Can't make a build day? A CMBTA membership or trail donation keeps the crews digging.
