Our next trail work day of the season will meet Sunday, June 16th. Meeting at the water tank parking area on Hurricane Mountain Road to work on Red Tail Trail.  Plan to work from 8:30 – 12:30.  Don’t forget your gloves, work boots, food, water and bug dope!

Other Notes Summer conditions have arrived. Please note there is a Goshawk nesting on the Recharger portion of the Electric Loop (southernmost section of trail between FR379 and 379A). There is a temporary closure in effect so please stay off that trail. Signs are posted – please heed them. Goshawks are very aggressive and will attack.

Our mission is to advocate for mountain biking opportunities and create & maintain trails in the eastern White Mountains of New Hampshire. Our accomplishments so far are significant and speak for themselves. We rely on a group effort to get things done and to make our activities and events successful.

The chapter has a schedule of activities including weekly trail work and rides to suit all levels. Check the links on the right for descriptions of planned rides, meeting notes, a group calendar and other events. To be notified of activity on one of the postings, be sure to subscribe to the post.

While you are out enjoying the local trails, keep in mind that a dedicated group of people spend much of their spare time caring for them. Your input and involvement is critical to our continued success; we can’t fulfill your needs unless we know what you want.  Please join NEMBA today and identify WMNEMBA as your local chapter.  Your assistance will make a difference.

If you have any other suggestions to improve our trails, our communication, or our membership please let us know!
