Well, in 2012 brought the birth of the MCMBA and it did well. We had some great events such as the Tree Farm Relay & The Brunch at The Farm (Thanks Farmers). As well as the Maybury Time Trial (Thanks Cycle to Fitness) and The ever so popular Milford Challenge ( Thanks Builder Bill). We also have done work at all of our trails with reroutes and some major repairs at ILRA. We now have a complete 3 + mile loop and a new kiosk at Rouge Park(Thanks SCA Group for all your help), this is the only true mtb trail system in Detroit Proper. None of these prior mentioned things could not even happen if it wasn't for all the blood sweat and effort our volunteers put forth.....THANK YOU!!!.
2013 is appearing to be a very exciting year as well. We will be hoping to participate in the upcoming Detroit Bike City Expo on March 16th at Cobo Hall. We have been in talks with Wayne County Park and have presented them with an MOU to start building a trail system in Hines and a couple of other designated parks. We are in the infancy stages of the possibility of a mtb trail sytem at Belle Isle. We look forward to building our relationships with all our landowners even stronger with our continuing efforts to provide south west Michigan with the best MTB trail system possible. So please keep an eye out for new info and opportunities that you can help participate in....we would love to have you!!!! So make 2013 a great year for you and yours....now go ride a bike!!!!!

Thanks to the MCMBA and SCA volunteers who invested their time and talents to finish the map Kiosk at Rouge Park last Sunday. These kiosks provide a solid anchor for each of our chapter trailheads - a place for riders to meet and to learn about area events and the trail. They also represent a significant investment of chapter funds into our trails in a very visible project that our land manager partners appreciate and value.

Thank you for your time and membership! You make projects like this possible.

Forage at the Farm - Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for participating in our first MCMBA Progressive Breakfast at Lakeshore today! I think the brisk morning temperatures may have scared a few away, but those with the fortitude to brave 45 degree temps enjoyed some awesome treats and camaraderie.

Our volunteers hosted eight stations throughout the trail: Coffee, Pancakes, Juices, Bacon/Sausage, Fruits, Pastries, Eggs, and Desserts. The treats and homemade specialties that our volunteers contributed added a tasty (and personal) touch that we all appreciated. I know that I have a new appreciation for PBR mixology!

While considering the cholesterol in the 16 lbs of bacon that we consumed, please enjoy the following photos (Thanks Claudia and Mike!)

As Summer winds down, has the same old Sunday Morning brunch at the country club becoming a bore? Looking for something new, spending quality time with people who share your interests and won't look down their noses at your spandex attire?

Join us for the 1st annual Forage at the Farm! progressive breakfast at Lakeshore Park, sponsored by the Motor City Mountain Biking Association. Assorted beverage, breakfast and brunch food stations will be found on the trail throughout the park.

What will you find? Will it be Mimosas in Maru's Way? Crepes in the Crater Loop? Pancakes in PBR? Will you be overcome by the scent of frying bacon wafting through the Swamp Loop???

There's only one way to find out!

Sunday, October 7th, Lakeshore Park in Novi. Starts at 9 until everything's devoured.

No cost to participate, but donations gratefully accepted. Registration not required, but please let us know if you're coming so we know how much to prepare.

Forage at the Farm

This year we'll be locating our brunch delights in the pavilion near the trailhead kiosk to make the event a bit more family friendly. You'll be able to sample everything even if the youngsters aren't up to 10 miles of singletrack. And yes, there will be bacon.

Ride and eat, eat and ride, eat and run - it's entirely up to you!

No cost to participate, but donations gratefully accepted. Registration not required, but please let us know if you're coming so we know how much to prepare.

Food, friends, farm. Can it get any better than that?
