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 in February 22, 2007. Since our establishment, we have grown our membership to 100+ 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 (Trails Page) and formalized trials with trail markers & 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 donation status in January 2009
  
  

HMBA Goals for 2009

• Focus on completion of phase 2 of the Bike Park

• Creating and maintaining a strong membership foundation

• Creating and maintaining cross-country trails
