2017 Year in Review

Trail Building

We had a great turn out and BBQ for National Trails Day
We adopted the Ponderosa Loop in Oak Flats and had two great days re-routing the existing trail and building new trail in preparation for the Albuquerque Mountain Bike Festival
We created a totally new trail in one day for the Forrest Service in the Manzanita mountains and had an awesome BBQ to celebrate
AMBA members played a large part in the completion of the Three Bottles trail in the Manzanita mountains

Great social rides all year long at all ability levels with as many as 30 people participating in individual rides
Numerous out of town rides with camp-outs and/or BBQs including White Mesa, Galisteo Trail System, Winsor Creek Trail, Phil's World, Moab, Enchanted Forrest and Las Cruces
Numerous Women's only rides
We had a great Take a Kid Mountain Biking day in conjunction with NMXSports

We currently represent all Albuquerque mountain bikers on the Sandia Collaborative team that advises the Forrest Service
We are taking an active role in representing mountain bikers in the Petroglyph National Monument/Abq. Open Space planning process

We applied for and won an REI grant for $5000, which the Forrest Service used to to purchase a new kiosk for the Placitas Area Trails

We support NMXSports who used the helmets we donated last year to take 75 disadvantaged kids mountain biking in their new 2017 mountain biking program
Became the local site administrator for the Trail Forks application for the Albuquerque riding area
