GROUP RIDES
Call for 2024 Ride Guides
As many of you know, WMBA is run entirely by volunteers and is a 501c3 non-profit. Pretty neat, we think! Are you interested in becoming a little more involved with WMBA in 2024? Check out our presentation if you missed our info night.
Then apply to be a race team member or ride guide! WMBA would simply not be WMBA without our wonderful Ride Guides and Race Team members; they are ESSENTIAL to the success of our awesome community. Remember that you do not have to be an "expert" rider to be a ride guide or race team member. Part of what makes WMBA so amazing is that we all bring different skills to table and that we all have something to learn from one another. We would like to have all ride guide applications in by March 1, 2024.

FAQs

What should I bring on a ride?
-
A mountain bike in safe and working order
-
A helmet
-
Water, snacks, sunscreen and a small repair kit if you have one
Why do I have to sign up for rides?
The WMBA community has grown tremendously over the years, and we want to make sure that our growth is sustainable. By limiting group ride sizes at each location, our impact will be felt less by each park. Smaller group sizes should also allow for a better experience on the trail for all of our members.
It is also the policy of Colorado Springs Parks and Recreation that group rides with more than 100 people are considered special events, and special events are not permitted at parks that are TOPS properties. The WMBA Board of Directors worked in conjunction with COS Parks and Recreation to make sure that WMBA is acting in good faith as community partners to protect the trails that we all enjoy riding on.
