Award winning. Community focused!
At BMBA its all about nature access for the public and building an inviting community! While bikes are at our heart we also build trails for, and not limited to, hikers, walkers, birders, floaters, horse back riders, and even kayakers and SUPs (water access and launch points).
The Brevard Mountain Bike Association (BMBA) received the 'Get on the Trail Award.' While small, the Brevard Mountain Bike Association is a very inviting, inclusive, and collaborative space for new trail users. Members work together for the greater good of the outdoor recreating public. This last year, the club has grown to almost 300 members, and expanded their reach to Wickham park. A couple years ago, Wickham only had a few miles of nearly unmarked trail. Working hand in hand with the land managers, Wickham Park now has a fine trail system of almost 10 miles, all well marked.
The association extended their insurance to Wickham to allow organized MTB rides to continue there. The group has also increased its presence in Turkey Creek trails and now do dedicated workdays in that area (with permission of the land managers). The association currently has a fund raiser running to connect the Turkey Creek Trails with the Grapefruit Trails (all off road). This will require almost 18K worth of funding, and the group had to produce stamped, engineered plans (see below). All is moving forward on that, a really exciting project that will benefit the community for many years.
