What We Do

Advocate

KYMBA works to ensure that mountain biking can be enjoyed not only now, but in the future. We work with land managers, property owners, and local and state governments to advocate mountain bike use. We are continually at work to develop and maintain a network of sustainable mountain bike trails in the Central Kentucky region and help throughout the entire state!

Volunteer Trail Work

Our volunteers design, develop, construct, and maintain trails. Our trail-building team leaders are experts in the design, project management, and construction of fantastic trails. The Bluegrass Chapter of KYMBA’s goal is to facilitate and provide expert instruction on designing, building, and maintaining sustainable and fun trails for all riders. If you want to be a trail leader, designer, or manager we want to facilitate your success! If you are interested in helping to build and maintain sustainable trails, simply attend one of our trail work days. Check out the Events page to stay up to date on our scheduled work days.

Ride!

Perhaps it goes without saying, but we like to ride too! Enjoying the fruits of our other work is always fun. Group rides are scheduled from time to time and are always open to riders of all skill levels, check out our summer Franks n’ Berms social rides! KYMBA also supports MTB races and clinics, such as the Bluegrass MTB Clinics held every summer.
