The NMBA Intro/Novice Ride is entering it's 5th year! 

NMBA will be holding its first 2011 Intro/Novice Rides Thursday May 5th at the Tussey/Galbraith Gap parking lot. The rides will be rolling by 6pm.

The Intro/Novice rides are meant to be a gathering for beginner/novice riders who want to get out in the woods without the worry about whether they're going to be able to "keep up" or "hold people back". If you are an experienced rider and would like to help lead/sweep these rides please contact me  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it   or Dave Miller:  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it


Throughout the summer we plan to cover things like:

  • Nice trails in the area to ride
  • Trail etiquette and responsible trail use
  • How to do simple repairs (fix a flat, fix a chain, etc)
  • How to traverse small obstacles
  • Anything else MTB-related that people want to learn...
  • Lots of Riding !

Riders should bring their MTB-style bike and a helmet.

These rides will be held each Thursday night through the summer as long as there is interest. The location may vary, so the forums or the calendar entry (on the front page) should be consulted each week to find out where to meet.

Tussey Mountain Extension Closure
Written by Frank Maguire   
Wednesday, 29 October 2008

The property owner of the portion gasline that we use to exit Tussey Mountain Extension has informed us that she will be closing her property as soon as the gasline expansion is completed.

Please respect her rights and try to discourage others from riding. Signs to this effect will be going up shortly. Out and back on the trail itself is acceptable, but if you turn left to continue down to Treaster-Kettle Rd, you cross onto private land.

We will be working with Forestry to use this opportunity to try and complete the much dreamed about trans-Tussey loop.
