SMBA

Trail Adopters - now through the next couple of weeks is a good time to brush your trail.
If you’re not a trail adopter, but are interested in helping out please send us a note as we’d very much like your help! On the fence? Even a couple of hours makes a difference, we supply equipment and can help get you set up!
Note that we have cancelled our brushing bee on June 20th but depending on the trail conditions we may reschedule at short notice.

Huge thanks to all the people who made this happen. Go check it out and let us know what you think!

Our new trail Upper Apocalypse built for the 2026 Heavy Petal Enduro (and everyone else) received its inspection today and we are psyched to report that it is now OPEN! It starts right off the top of the Uptrack and exits onto Old Bluff just North of Four Horsemen. Continue down original Apocalypse for a total of 3km of blue descending back to the parking lot! Be aware there is still@some work being done on lower apocalypse and there is still some soft sections on the new upper section. Ride with care and enjoy! Thanks to everyone who helped make this new line a reality!

As of this week, at the Bluff and Ptarmigan areas, only Deep Bluff and Pump Daddy remained closed. With a switch to rainy weather, please remember to watch for changing conditions and, if riding in the wet, ride trails that are likely to hold up better and avoid those that might become too soft and rut up. Trail work is underway on Nervous Shakedown (sneak preview above) and Apocalypse, so please watch out for trail closures associated with ongoing trail work. And please do grab your 2026 SMBA membership to keep supporting what we do - link is in our bio.

Group Rides are back! Come join us next Monday at 6pm at the Bluff Trails parking lot. Rides will run bi-weekly on Monday nights at 6pm.

Please reach out if you’re interested in hosting group/ladies rides!

May 9, 2026 Trail Update. Uptrack and Meanstreak are now open! Riff Raff, Child’s Play jump line and the rest of New Shiny Penny need a bit more time to dry out. Trail work on Apocalypse will be starting shortly and the trail will be closed while work is ongoing. If you notice any issues please let us know.

Huge shoutout to the local wildfire crews for helping us build and maintain the SMBA trail network. 🤘🔥

Over the past little while, both the Initial Attack and Unit Crews have been out lending a hand on some current trail projects, and the support has been absolutely unreal. We’ve got some exciting things in the works and can’t wait to share more details in the coming weeks.

These photos are from yesterday’s session with the Unit Crew putting in work on the trails. Thanks again for helping move this project along!

Projects like this only happen because of the support from our riding community through SMBA memberships, trail days, and local stoke. Huge thanks to everyone who helps keep the wheels turning.
