About the MMBA
The Michigan Mountain Biking Association (MMBA) is a
non-profit corporation with approximately 2,500 members throughout Michigan.The MMBA hosts a Championship Points Series, one of the most popular
mountain bike race series in the U.S. Racers participate at venues across the State and throughout the summer, earning points based on their finishes. At the end of the year we recognize the top ranked individuals within the racing categories. This series serves as a fundraiser for trail development while exposing athletes to the advocacy side of the sport.The 2007 season is a partnership with MMBA chapters and independent promoters to bring eight events to the series. The series is traditionally kicked off in April with the annual Yankee Springs Time Trial- the largest mountain bike time trial in Michigan (with nearly 600 racers participating) and the third largest turnout mountain bike event in Michigan.

We've partnered with IMBA to develop a National Mountain Bike Patrol in Michigan. Modeled after the National Ski Patrol, our volunteer patrollers are trained in first aid, CPR, and bike repair.
Encouraging More Woman Cyclists
We partner with the DNR and host an annual mountain bike clinic for woman at all levels. The clinic focues on riding skills, bike repair, bike fitting, and nutrition. We're expanding this concept to monthly educational rides for women only.
