Tim was a member of the HMBA Board of Directors (Operations/Trails) for 5 years, Sprockids Coordinator for 4 years, Sprockids Coach for 6 years (and coaching this year again!) and an avid volunteer for over 10 years! Thank you Tim for your commitment and energy. It's members like yourself that have been the building blocks to our amazing mountain bike mecca!

Itching to ride soon? Got kids who need to peddle off their extra energies? Check out this extensive list of great places to ride this summer - all over Alberta! The paved pumptracks in the Yellowhead County will be great options during the Spring thaw. Remember to avoid the Hinton Bike Park until it dries out!

Julie Duval, representing the HMBA, and Clint Walker, representing Pembina Pipeline Coorporation, presented to Town Council today as a delegation. It was a celebration and unveiling of the new name and signage for the new Pembina Sprockids Trail built last summer. The new signs will be in place in June.

The Hinton Mountain Bike Association Annual General Meeting is coming up quickly. Meet us at the People's Center at the Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Center. The doors open at 6:30pm to get your 2018 memberships and the AGM begins at 7:15pm. Hope to see you all there.

The Hinton Mountain Bike Association welcomes Casey Hore as our new Sprockids Coordinator!!! Casey, a parent with two young kids in the Sprockids program, brings a lot of energy and ideas and is looking forward to the upcoming Sprockids sessions this Spring. Tim Trahan, the Sprockids Coordinator for the past 4 years, Sprockids Coach for the past 6 years, and the Operations/Trails Board Member between 2009 and 2013, has stepped down from his coordinator role, but will still be actively involved as a coach. The HMBA is very excited for the continued involvement of our members in such a valued program as the Hinton Sprockids. Thank you Tim for the great job and dedication you have provided and thank you Casey for accepting this new role!!

Hey HMBA members, there is some new Firesmart work that is finishing up just south of town ( south of the golf course ). The Firesmart work is creating a fire break that will help keep the community safe in the event of a fire. The government is just finishing up work on the fire break this week and it did intersect our trails. They are committed to working with HMBA to getting these trails back in riding shape by summer so don’t be alarmed. If your riding up, running or walking to the view point and see a wide open space. It’s there for a reason. As soon as the snow melts we will be out there with the Gov’t getting it back into shape.
