Prepare yourself for the 8th Annual Tree Farm Relay Event at Lakeshore Park in Novi, presented by the MCMBA, Team Tree Farm and Dark Horse Racing. This is the same format you have all grown to love… a unique 4-person team relay race! The course features lots of hills, passing zones and fun! This is a perfect race for the beginner looking to see what team / endurance racing is all about and for experienced racers looking to test their skills against rival teams. If you want to try an endurance race, but aren’t ready for the distance, this is the perfect event for you to see what the team racing concept is all about.
We are shaking things up this year by adjusting the start of the Sport class to help with the initial congestion on the trail. Plus, we are adding a mysterious “Other” category. Stay tuned for details on that…. maybe!
Start planning your teams, planning your costumes and get ready for the coolest race around!

We are having a trail work day at the Farm this Saturday at 9:00 AM. This is mostly going to be a cleanup type of trail day where we do some trimming, rut repair, deberming and trash cleanup. We are also going to get rid of the old bridge coming back from Swamp Loop.
Lunch provided. Loppers, rakes, shovels helpful if you have 'em.
Hope to see you there!

The DNR and MCMBA joined forces this last weekend on a project to replace an old bridge on the Highland Recreation Area trail. Bridge work this time of year is a cold, wet, messy business...
but the end reward is worth it! The new completed bridge is high and dry and looks great!
Thanks team!
It's trail day season again!

It's been a long, cold winter, and we can't wait to get riding! In the daylight. Without studded tires. Without Moose Mitts and frozen toes.
Once again this Spring, the MCMBA is hosting a series of trail days at our area trails. These trail days are a great time to clean up winter deadfall, work on special projects, and generally get the trails ready for the summer riding season.
Working on a trail you love to ride can be very rewarding. If you haven't participated in a trail day before, we have a small FAQ with helpful tips.
Our traildays are announced on our Events page, in Facebook group, and our Michigan Mountain Biking Association forum. Please join us if you can!
