History

The Hinton Mountain Bike Association (HMBA) was formed by a few buddies that saw a need to improve mountain biking in Hinton. HMBA became a registered society in Alberta on February 22, 2007. Since our establishment, we have grown our membership to 300+ bikers! In addition, we are proud to have fulfilled several key goals:

  • Established weekly club rides.

  • Revived and repaired several popular local trails.

  • Established this website as a forum for mountain bikers locally and beyond

  • Designed the first official maps of local trails in 2008 and formalized trails with trail markers and field maps for safe navigation.

  • Built the region’s first Mountain Bike Park - Phase 1 completed on September 27th, 2008, Phase 2 completed on June 14th, 2009!

  • Achieved charitable status in January 2009.

  • Awarded the Hinton & District Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Award in 2013.

Today

  • Continuing to build and maintain the best riding networks in the region.

  • Currently operating as a Trail Manager with the Province of Alberta.

  • Ongoing grant applications to fund maintenance and capital projects.

Our Mandate

1. To provide and maintain free access multi-purpose mountain bike trails and facilities, for use by the public.

2. To promote local mountain bike events and activities for community participation in healthy recreation.
