Membership
Why Join?
See the 2008 Membership Letter for an excellent summary of what MAMBA has done and where we are going.
Your contribution of $20 for an individual or $35 for a family will be used in the following ways:
- Trail construction and maintenance. This is where the vast majority of the $$ goes. We've now purchased nearly $1000 worth of trail tools, several hundred dollars worth of lumber and materials, and a couple hundred worth of trail markers to post at Irish Hill and Morse Farm. We also spend about $15-20 each trail work day on food and drink for volunteers. All of this comes together to make more miles of sweet, legal trails in the area.
- IMBA and VMBA chapter dues, including our contribution to the VMBA Landowner Support Fund. These organizations support mountain biking on a broad scale, including interaction with the State and Feds to lobby for MTB-friendly policies. These two combined are about $300/yr.
- This MAMBA website, becoming the central source for information about local biking.
- Liability insurance coverage for MAMBA and landowners (sad, but necessary). Having this in place makes it easier to approach landowners for new trails.
- Little miscellaneous stuff (postage, luxury cruises for officers, mob kickbacks, etc.)
MAMBA tools as of July, 2004
