| MBMBP is a branch
of the International Mountain Bicycling Association's National
Mountain Bike Patrol.
Patrollers provide assistance to hikers, equestrians, and especially mountain bikers. They give information, provide directions, help with minor repairs, and provide first aid. The fundamental goal of mountain bike patrols is to ensure trail access for recreational users, especially mountain bikers. Mountain bike patrols work in cooperation with land managers to meet specific needs of their local riding area.UPCOMING EVENTS: Enduro Mountain Bike Race July BBQstay tuned for more information |

One of six Fall 2003 IMBA/CLIF Bar Trail Preservation Grants has been
awarded to Laramie BikeNet (of which MBMBP is a part of).
The Laramie Bicycling Network (BikeNet) will use grant monies to
create trail education signs at Pole Mountain Recreational Area in Albany
County. Local land managers asked BikeNet to help create signs that
emphasize the importance of staying on the trail and sharing it with other
users.
