Tomorrow is the last day. ⏰

The For the Ride: Boise Mountain Bike Festival Sweepstakes closes Saturday, June 20 — and 8 people are about to win some seriously incredible gear.

A Canyon Spectral 8. Patagonia kit. Deity components. Club Ride apparel. Maxxis tires and Time pedals.

Every entry directly supports SWIMBA, Crank Queens, and Idaho Women's Bikepacking. Odds are still good — but not for long.

Get ready, folks. Idaho’s Galena Grinder is coming up on July 18th. It's one of the best MTB races in the state, and the perfect excuse to escape to the high country. Fast singletrack, big views, cool temps, and that classic Galena vibe that makes the whole day feel like summer should.

Whether you’re racing for the podium or just want to test your legs on some of Idaho’s most scenic trails, this is the one you don’t want to miss.

Get signed up, get tuned up, and we’ll see you at the start line.

Summer is here, and we're riding. ☀️🚵

Join us for the 3rd Thursday Group Ride this Thursday — one of our favorite traditions of the season, and last month's turnout was a reminder of why we keep showing up.

📅 Thursday, June 19
⏰ 6:00 PM
📍 Highlands Hollow BrewHouse

Come ready to roll — it's going to be a hot one, so bring plenty of water and sun protection. All paces welcome. No-drop. Good people. Cold beer at The Hollow after.

A big thank you to our sponsors making this ride possible: Highlands Hollow Brewhouse and Club Ride Apparel — whose gear you might already be eyeing in the Boise Mountain Bike Festival sweepstakes.

Speaking of which: entries close this Saturday, June 20. Every entry supports SWIMBA, Crank Queens, and Idaho Women's Bikepacking, and with 8 prize packs up for grabs, the odds are genuinely good. Events like Thursday's group ride exist because of this kind of community support.

🚵🏻 RSVP for the ride: https://swimba.org/events/2026-swimba-group-ride-2/

A few spots are still available for this Wednesday's MTB Fundamentals clinic at Eagle Bike Park — and we didn't want any members to miss out. 🚵

📅 Wednesday, June 17 — 6:00–8:00 PM
📍 Eagle Bike Park | Free for SWIMBA members

Register here: https://swimba.org/events/mtb-fundamentals-skills-clinic-members-only-6/

Coach Levi Weert covers body position, balance, speed control, and movement on technical terrain using a structured drill format that's easy to keep practicing on your own. These are the kinds of skills that make every ride feel a little more dialed — and this is one of only a handful of clinics we offer throughout the season.

This is what a SWIMBA membership looks like in practice. Free clinics, community rides, and access to the events and resources that make riding in Southwest Idaho as good as it is. None of it happens without the support of members and donors who believe in building something worth riding for.

We've got more clinics coming later this summer — the best way to stay in the loop is to join our email list at swimba.org.

And if you haven't entered the For the Ride sweepstakes yet, you've got 5 days left. Every entry goes directly back to SWIMBA, Crank Queens, and Idaho Women's Bikepacking — the kind of support that keeps clinics like this free.

The Boise Mountain Bike Festival is June 25–27 — and the event needs volunteers to help make it happen! 🙌

We're looking for help at two venues:

📍 Friday, June 26 — Eagle Bike Park
📍 Saturday, June 27 — Bogus Basin

Shifts are available for setup, registration, and tear down. All volunteers will receive a lift ticket, festival access, and event-themed swag as a thank-you for helping out.

If you've got a couple hours to give, email info[at]swimba.org with which day(s) and shift type work for you and we'll get you the details.

The Boise Mountain Bike Festival is a community event and a fundraiser for SWIMBA, Crank Queens, and Idaho Women's Bikepacking — three local organizations working to build more trails and get more people on bikes across Southwest Idaho. As part of the event, we're running the Boise Mountain Bike Festival Sweepstakes, with prizes including a Canyon Spectral 8 and gear from some great brands. Every entry goes directly toward that mission.

Not entered yet? Find the link on our website at https://swimba.org/2026-mtb-festival-sweepstakes. And if you know someone who'd want in, share it with them.

Thanks in advance — this event is a community effort in every sense.

🚨 Advocacy Alert

The trails we ride are public lands — and right now, there's a proposal in Congress that could make it easier to sell or dispose of federal public lands through the budget process with just a simple majority vote.

The Public Lands Integrity Act would require any such proposal to clear a 60-vote threshold in the Senate — a critical safeguard that helps keep public lands in public hands.

For mountain bikers in Southwest Idaho, this matters. The trails we've built, maintain, and advocate for exist on public land.

Protecting that access starts with protecting the land itself.
Contact your Senators and ask them to vote YES on the Public Lands Integrity Act amendment.
