San Diego Mountain Biking Association

06/17/2026

A good reminder that advocacy doesn’t always happen months in advance.

With less than 24 hours notice before tonight’s hearing, SDMBA identified concerns within Escondido’s proposed bicycle and e-bike ordinance, mobilized a response, submitted formal comments, and coordinated with to broaden awareness of the issue.

The result: the item was postponed, allowing more time for stakeholder input and review.

This was a successful advocacy sprint – one that demonstrates the value of having a dedicated organization watching local policy, building relationships, and ready to act when access and recreation issues emerge.

The work continues, but today was a good example of the mountain biking community showing up when it matters.

If you value having a strong voice for mountain biking in San Diego County, please consider supporting SDMBA through membership. Your membership helps fund the advocacy, stewardship, and community-building work that protects and expands trail access across our region.

Thank you for your patience. It makes the fire and mop up work so much easier. The canyon preserve is reopening tomorrow on Thursday June 11th to users. As always, respect the boundaries and please stay out of the burn areas for now.

Extra important - the burn areas are at their highest risk right now from lookyloos. It is vital that all users stay on existing trails and do not treat fire containment lines as new trails.

Please stay out of the canyon, especially the impacted areas. We will relay messages of openings and what limits there are as soon as they are received. Thank you all the Fire Resources for the fine work done and continued vigilance.

🚵 Help Shape the Future of Riding in San Diego 🚵

SDMBA’s 2026 Community Survey is now open, and we want to hear from YOU.

Whether you’re an SDMBA member, occasional rider, dedicated volunteer, eMTBer, gravel rider, trail builder, or someone who simply loves getting out on dirt, your feedback will help guide the future of trail access, advocacy, stewardship, events, and education across San Diego County.

The survey takes about 8–12 minutes to complete and is open through June 24.

Even better? Share it with your riding buddies, group chats, and friends who ride but aren’t connected with SDMBA yet. The more voices we hear, the better we can represent San Diego’s riding community.
