Hello Edmonton! We're hoping that everyone is staying healthy and well. We've had a few fantastic suggestions made from people concerning how to use our trails safely during the COVID-19 outbreak but unfortunately, due to logistics and the many people walking and hiking the trails in addition to cyclists, they would be near impossible to implement. Below is an article that helps give some suggestions and examples of how other groups are helping to keep each other safe on the trails. Let's all look out for one another so that we can resume our normal existence sooner rather than later.

Six F'n Riders were out last Friday morning earning some City approved Trail Karma in Mill Creek. They trimmed 820 meters of trail and removed 6 rather large trees by hand, from above and across the trails. Thanks guys!
We will be preparing our first batch of the 2020 Trail Supporter cards in the coming weeks. If you've signed up already, your 2020 card and sticker will be on its way soon!
If you haven't signed up yet, now is a great time so you can make the cutoff for the first mail out. Not sure what the Trail Supporter Program is all about? Check out all the details here: www.edmmtnbike.ca/shop/
I never got one last year. Hiw do l get one this year?
The Edmonton Mountain Bike Alliance would like to thank BLINDMAN BREWING for their generous sponsorship and support for our 2019 season. Help support local and return the favour by ordering a BLINDMAN Brew from your favourite venue or supplier.
Some of the best beer in the province, and definitely some of the greatest people!
Five of diamonds is spot on.
2019 in review...
406 Volunteers donated 995 hours of precious free time to care for 57km of Edmonton's Singletrack Network. They also helped plant over 100 trees.
Thank you to all our volunteers and supporters for helping us achieve these numbers.
Thank you to the City of Edmonton for their continued support for EMBA. Without our partnership, none of this would be possible.
Happy New Year everyone!
That’s a whole lotta love for Edmonton’s world class urban mountain biking single track trails!
That was my first ever Trail Day! I always look so grumpy 😂
First I've heard about the tree planting. That is Awesome.
Congratulations on all of the hard work people!!!
EMBA would like to thank Chris Voegeli of Clear Focus Financial for his generous donation of $500. This will certainly go a long way in the maintenance of Edmonton's singletrack network.
Nice, Chris!
Brant Lyon, recognize this stunt?
Seasons Greetings from your friends at EMBA. Thank you to all volunteers for donating your precious time to help sweeten up our singletrack. Wishing you all the best (singletrack) for 2020.
Happy Christmoose to all the trail heros!! 🤘🍻

The Bike Plan will be a high-level strategic plan that will guide us as we continue to improve and grow the bike network.There should be side hits and whoops everywhere... like Bentonville Arkansas... Loam ranger got me thinking
Are these all protected?
Looking for a Christmas gift for the mountain biker on your list? Consider buying them a 2020 Trail Supporter Pass. This program supports EMBA’s trail work and advocacy efforts. Having a strong Trail Supporter base will add to EMBA’s credibility when working with landowners, and provide a unified voice for trail care in the River Valley. www.edmmtnbike.ca/product/trail-supporter-pass-2020/
I’ll be renewing mine.
A big thank you goes out to the United Ride Club for their $500 donation as well as the trail day they did this summer.
