Hopefully you’ve been able to enjoy the beauty of California while gleefully riding the various trails. There’s a lot of magic out here, but there are many more secrets this state has tucked throughout the mountains, between valleys, from inland to the Pacific, and we’d like to discover those secrets ourselves. With big hearts, determination, and the willingness to sweat, we dig our ways, literally, to the vision of what we know mountain bikes can bring us to; community. We build so that we can know our land and neighbors, and hopefully build these trails together so that we can ride them together.
We once heard a coach say “they is you,” meaning that the “they” you may be thinking about doing all this work is actually you. Without maintaining pre-existing trails and without exploring new opportunities, anything we already have or dream to have vanishes. Make no mistake that any sweet berm, rock garden, bridge, or flow trail wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for hardworking and excited individuals coming together to provide a great riding experience for folks like us.
Any amount of time you’d be willing to donate to one of our Trail Work Days is greatly appreciated! All of our work days will be listed on our calendar, but feel free to reach out with any questions (hp@norcalmtb.org).
We’ll supply: Tools, gloves, safety glasses, high-fives!
You’ll bring: Strong work ethic, hat, sunscreen, water, and snacks.
There are a lot of great organizations that are organizing trail work days and making miles of sweet single track throughout the Northern California area. Here are a few that we know and love:
