It’s been an amazing couple of years for Mountain Biking in Southwestern Utah. There are so many people that helped make it happen it’s hard to know where to begin, but I’ll start with all of you. Everyone out there that joined, contributed, or volunteered deserves a great big pat on the back. THANK YOU. DMBTA exists to support dedicated people like you that want to get involved and make our great trails even better. I must also thank our DMBTA Board. It is amazing how many hours and how much hard work these dedicated people donate to make this happen. I should also thank Saint George City and Washington County for making Snake Hollow Bike Park a reality, the BLM, NFS, Red Bull, the local bike shops, and the owners and employees of Desert Canyons.
Most of the work that the DMBTA Board does is behind the scenes and it’s kind of boring. Things like, insurance maintaining our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, organization, bookkeeping, and coordinating with local governments and landowners, are not fun but essential to get things done. I’ve listed some of the fun stuff below.
- New Trails completed over the past two years
- Wire Mesa, Kentucky Lucky, and Desert Canyons in Washington County
- Lava Flow, Lichen It, Iron Giant, and Green Hollow in Cedar City
- Raven & Roadrunner trails, and the Town trail in Kanab
- Edge of Nightfall Red Bull movie and fund raiser
- New T-shirt and hat design
- Assisted Saint George City with Snake Hollow Bike Park
- Initiated “Pass with Class” trail etiquette program
- Participated in Active Transport committee to promotion urban bike paths
- West Mountain downhill trail planning
- Hosted Bike Magazine and member appreciation cookout
- Donated money for Virgin City BMX track lighting
- Provided trail etiquette training for NICA teams
- Hundreds of hours maintaining trails from Navajo Lake to the Rainbow Rim.
- Three Peaks has a lot of new signage thanks to the Local printing company “Three Peaks Graphics”, and new bridges thanks to the BLM
