82 miles of singletrack. Zero trail passes. Zero parking fees. All we ask is that you become a member of CAMBr.

You know how good the trails are. What you don't see on your weekend rides is the sweat, gasoline, and hours required to keep them that way. The county doesn't maintain these trails. The state doesn't maintain them. Trail crews like the one in this video do.
Right now, only 490 riders are paying members. That means a tiny fraction of our community is footing the bill for the trails everyone rides for free.

If you enjoy the trails that CAMBr built and maintains for you, become a member today. $39 a year, less than the price of a single tire, protects your trails and helps us reach our goal of 100 miles of trails. Plus more members means a bigger voice when we approach land managers to propose new trail systems.
Don't just use the trails. Own your piece of them.

Get off the sidelines and become part of CAMBr today:

Kate Courtney 🇺🇸 wins stage 4 of the Tour de Feminin!

“The first days in the European peloton were humbling to say the least. But growth happens outside your comfort zone, and sometimes the best way to learn how to swim is to jump right into the deep end.

With a lot of support from our all star team, I made big progress. On day 3 I won the bunch sprint with Katherine Sarkisov securing a top 5 from the break. And on day 4, I managed to put some of the pieces together to take the win. So much mental fight from our entire squad and a week we can be very proud of. Thank you team.

I’m productively intimidated by just how much I l have to learn. But I couldn’t be more excited to keep taking on new challenges. They seem to bring out the best in me.” - Kate Courtney
