Crested Butte Mountain Bike Association

HAPPY NEW YEAR! CBMBA is looking forward to another outstanding year of trailwork and riding trails!

Do you want to be more involved with CBMBA? Contact us for ways to help out! Do a group of you and your buddies want to work on a local favorite trail? Contact us and one of us will go out with you and help you learn about trailwork, supply the tools, pizza and beer. 

The Crested Butte Mountain Bike Association is now 28 years old! We are a volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to the access, building and maintenance of mountain bike trails in Crested Butte, Colorado.

Each summer we host several work days in conjunction with the Forest Service and BLM, building new trails and maintaining all the classic trails that so many locals and visitors love to ride.

Become an integral part of mountain biking in Crested Butte by joining our club or showing up to help buff out 401, 403,The Lower Loop, Cement Creek Trail and Reno Flag Bear, to name a few of the trails we work on.

We recently participated in the Gunnison National Forest Travel Management planning process, helping to secure quality mountain bike experiences here in Gunnison County.

NEW TRAIL FROM SADDLE RIDGE (off Gothic Road) TO SLATE RIVER ROAD OPEN! Thanks to all the volunteers who came out this spring and  worked on the Lupine Trail.It is ready to ride. Please, no parking at either end, ride out! And please do not venture out on other trails in the area, they are on private land!

NEW TRAIL IN CEMENT CREEK! Thanks to all the volunteers and the Forest Service, we built a great new section of nonmotorized  track in Cement Creek. This intermediate trail is accessible one mile past Deadman's parking area and continues all the way to Hunter Hill. Ride just the trail, or connect it to Waterfall Creek, Hunter Hill or Crystal Peak trail for a great day of riding.

TRAIL CONDITIONS  CEMENT MOUNTAIN TRAIL #553 and ROSEBUD TRAIL #423 SEASONAL CLOSURES: These two trails are closed to motorized use October 1st thru June 15th for big game calving and for a providing fall security area.

RENO FLAG BEAR DEADMANS RIDERS:The Gunnison National Forest Service trail crew  removed the unauthorized homemade bridge at the bottom of Deadman crossing Cement Creek for safety and liability reasons. We probably risked leaving the bridge in place longer than we should but it is now gone. We plan to apply for a state grant this November to install a fully engineered bridge. In the meantime the crossing will be a stream ford like most of our trail crossings on the district.

 We have gotten snow in the high country!   Hartman Rocks has snow and is unrideable also! 
Teocalli  is closed to all users this summer.    Cement Creek Trail is fully built and repaired  and ready for your riding pleasure!  All CBMBA Events are sponsored by New Belgium Brewing Company.
