Join EVMA

Did you enjoy riding your mountain bike last weekend? Have you wondered who builds and takes care of these trails in our area? Our group, the Eastern Virginia Mountain Bike Association (EVMA) does! We are a group of mountain biking enthusiasts just like you. EVMA was formed in 1988 by a handful of dedicated mountain bikers (before bikes even had suspension options!) who decided they wanted to build, ride and maintain trails in the Greater Williamsburg area, by working with the local city, county and state officials. Back then, we only had about 12 miles of mountain biking trails in the area that lacked maintenance or design to manage erosion or flow.

Today we have over 200 paid members and over 1,000 subscribers to our Facebook forum. We would like to make this a Mountain Biking Mecca, where people will come to ride mountain bikes.  Currently we have over 60 miles of trail that have all been built by hand, and not many hands at that. We need your help! Why not become a member? Our annual dues are $25 per individual or $40 per family. We have all kinds of fun events that we do all year long, like camping trips, group rides, day trips, skills courses and festivals.

Here are just a few membership benefits:

• Family membership includes up to five members
• 10% discounts for parts at participating shops
• 10% ticket discounts at Go Ape zip line park (located at Freedom Park)
  
• Representing the club at local events
• Having an opportunity for input regarding building and maintaining local trails (with insurance coverage!)
• Do you ever want to lead a bunch of other riders on a fun trail? You can be a ride leader!
  
• Healthy group activities with fellow cyclists during scheduled or ad hoc rides locally
• Day Trips and Camping Trips to trails and parks outside the area
• Monthly club meetings (with lunch too!)
• Seasonal social events

Please do not wait any longer; you are missing out on a lot of action! Join today and we look forward to meeting you on the trail!
