About BMA

The Boulder Mountainbike Alliance exists to serve as a positive voice for Mountain Biking by making the trails in Boulder County a better place for all users.

Our 2005-2007 Trail Goals

Our Humble Past

BMA was founded in 1991 as the Boulder Offroad Alliance (BOA). In 2006 the organization's name was changed to the Boulder Mountainbike Alliance to more accurately describe our focus and mission. We exist as a collaborative stewardship organization. We design, build, and maintain trails for land management agencies in Boulder County. To date, we have completed 110 major project days which contributed more than 17,000 hours of volunteer time. This is the equivalent of providing the land management agencies of Boulder County with a full time trail worker for more than eight years. BMA has adopted the Marshall Mesa Trail, the South Boulder Creek Trail at Walker Ranch, and the USFS Sourdough Trail.

We participate in the Boulder County Park Host program via our chapter of the National Mountain Bike Patrol as one method of educating trail users about appropriate trail use. BMA's Patrol has been in operation since 1996 and patrolled over 50 hours last year.

We have done bike tune-ups at the Farmers Market in support of the City of Boulder's GO Boulder program and support the Boulder Valley YMCA Y-Riders program. In 2003 we started an IMBA Sprockids program. We have sponsored numerous events in the Boulder area in support of the cycling community including Veloswap and Tour de Fat.
