Now in its 14th year, the Spring Bike Demo at Island Lake is a great chance to talk face to face with people who live the life: building, riding, and maintaining the bikes you want to own. Then, take a few out for a test spin on the road and trails at Island Lake, finding the bike that pulls at your heartstrings.
See mcmba.org/demo for more information!
The MCMBA is pleased to announce that starting during the 2018-2019 winter season, we will begin grooming the trails at Maybury State Recreation Area. The hope is to increase trail accessibility in the winter, and we are very excited to hopefully see more people on the trails this time of year.
The program itself will be a bit of a learning process as we go. We do however want to establish our position on how our grooming program will work:
We hope to expand this program to other trails in the future. In order to help put a dent in the cost of the equipment, maintenance, fuel, etc., we are accepting donations for grooming activities in the present and the future. Starting December 2, a minimum $15 donation will earn you a “Grooming Supporter” sticker as a token of our appreciation, which you can proudly display on the top tube of your bike, your car, wherever you want to let it fly is cool with us!
If you visit us at Island Lake on December 1st for Global Fatbike Day, the minimum donation for a sticker is $10!
It's time again for bridge repair at Lakeshore Park, and you can help!
Long ago in an age shrouded by the fog of time, someone had an inspirational vision to help fund the development of some new bridges at Lakeshore Park with a "Buy a plank" program. For a small donation, a bridge plank was inscribed with the donors name. Today, every rider at Lakeshore still rides over these bridge planks, looking down to see familiar names - perhaps their own!
Working together with the City of Novi, we'd like to resurrect our "Donate a Plank" program for the new bridge planks. For a donation of at least $25, we will inscribe your selected name into a blank plank on one of the bridges at Lakeshore Park. All of the proceeds will be used to improve the bike infrastructure at Lakeshore Park.
Want to participate? Please click on the "Donate" button on the mcmba.org website under "Get Involved", or just click here.
Please be sure to add "Lakeshore Plank" and up to 25 characters that you want inscribed in the "Dedication or Special Intentions" field on the donation form. That's it!
