The month of May is a great time join Austin Ridge Riders or renew your membership. As a local chapter of IMBA, we are participating in the Leading with Trails Spring membership drive which gives you an opportunity to be entered to win one of several awesome prize packages. Top packages include a Yeti mountain bike!

Your membership helps us support trails in Austin, but more specifically: it covers the cost of lunch at group rides, insurance, tools, storage, material for builds, rewards for volunteers, marketing materials and signage, the stickers we give out at events and much more. It can even be useful in securing “matching grants”.

When you join ARR, you’ll have access to all the great benefits provided by IMBA, as well as local benefits from our partners! Click here to learn more: https://www.austinridgeriders.com/membership-drive

PLEASE DO SURVEY BEFORE Feb 14!! New State Park in Burnet / Lampasas Counties. We NEED ALL MTB RIDERS to click the boxes in favor of mountain biking. (Rumor is that some other interest groups have suggested keeping bikes out).
