🌲 We're Looking for a Trail Coordinator – Sanford Pathway! 🚵

Do you have a passion for mountain biking, trail building, and giving back to your local trail community? The Central Michigan Mountain Bike Association (CMMBA) is looking for a dedicated Trail Coordinator to help lead the care and development of the Sanford Pathway trail system.

As Trail Coordinator, you'll:
🔹 Organize trail maintenance days
🔹 Work with volunteers and local partners
🔹 Monitor trail conditions and prioritize improvements
🔹 Help shape the future of one of Mid-Michigan's favorite trail systems

You don't need to be a trail-building expert—we're looking for someone who is organized, enthusiastic, and excited to help keep Sanford Pathway in great shape for everyone to enjoy. Training, support, and a great team of volunteers are ready to help you succeed.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a lasting impact on the local riding community while spending time on the trails you love.

📩 Interested or want to learn more? Send us a message or email [email protected].

Please share this post and help us find the next steward of Sanford Pathway! 🌲🚴

What do you notice about this section of trail on North Loop in Midland City Forest?

If you're like most riders... probably nothing. 😊

And that's actually the point!

Take a closer look—the vegetation along both sides of the singletrack has been trimmed back. It may seem like a small detail, but it makes a huge difference to your ride:

🌿 Fewer branches scratching your arms and legs
☘️ Poison ivy kept farther from the trail
🕷️ Fewer opportunities for ticks to hitch a ride
👀 Better visibility through corners

This kind of trail maintenance doesn't happen on its own. Our amazing trail volunteers spend countless hours keeping the trails safe, fun, and enjoyable for everyone.

If you see them out working, be sure to give them a wave and a sincere "thank you!" They make every ride better.

You won't want to miss tonight's group ride. Chef Greg Nagley is going to be whipping up some cheesecake quesadillas with various pie fillings on the Blackstone. We leave at 5:45 PM from the Chalet at the Monroe Rd parking lot!
