ABOUT US

OUR STORY

The Bluegrass Chapter of the Kentucky Mountain Bike Association (KYMBA) is a bicycle advocacy organization dedicated to providing education, outreach, and environmental stewardship programs to communities and agencies in the Central Kentucky area.

 

In addition – as an affiliate of the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA), a recognized leader in sustainable trail development – The Bluegrass Chapter of KYMBA seeks to preserve, expand and enhance natural surface trail systems throughout the Central Kentucky area in an effort to ensure continued access to high quality, well-maintained trails for all users.

 

 

WHAT WE DO

Advocate

 

KYMBA works to ensure that mountain biking can be enjoyed not only now, but in the future.  We work with land managers, property owners, and local and state government to advocate mountain bike use.  We are continually at work to develop and maintain a network of sustainable mountain bike trails in the Central Kentucky region and help throughout the entire state!

 

 

Volunteer Trail Work

 

Our volunteers design, develop, construct, and maintain trails.  Our trail building team leaders are experts in design, project management, and construction of fantastic trails. The Bluegrass Chapter of KYMBA’s  goal is to facilitate and provide expert instruction on designing, building, and maintaining sustainable and fun trails for all riders.  If you want to to be a trail leader, designer, or manager we want to facilitate your success!  If you are interested in helping to build and maintain sustainable trails, simply attend one of our trail work days.  Check us out on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on our scheduled work days.

 

Ride!

 

Perhaps it goes without saying, but we like to ride too!  Enjoying the fruits of our other work is always fun.  Group rides are scheduled from time to time and are always open to riders of all skill levels. KYMBA also supports MTB races, such as the 12 Hours of Capital View , held every summer at Capital View Park in Frankfort.
