This weekend, the HBMBA hosted our first WTNB Dig

This weekend, the HBMBA hosted our first WTNB Dig Day at Christie Lake! With an emphasis on learning, we explored the tools of the trade, spoke about trail maintenance, and got to work on a section along Trillium Trail, which was due for some drainage and tread remediation.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who joined us! Enthusiastic, keen to learn, and incredibly supportive of one another, it was each of you that made this day a huge success. To make things even better, the sun was shining and we were fortunate to start our day right with coffee and snacks (courtesy of @stoked_mtb and @dirtseries ). Thanks everyone!

Would you like to see more events like this in the future? Drop us a comment below.

We are coordinating our first Women, Trans, Non-Binary Dig Day next weekend. There are way more details on the sign up page at HBMBA.ca under Events or under trails/Christie Lake (both go to the same page). But the quick details: non-members welcome, we provide all the tools, no experience necessary - we will provide instruction. See the sign up page for contact info if you have questions.

Hi all, after yesterdays downpour the trails are closed again. We have lots of standing water and more rain is expected. Remember when you’re out there if you are leaving ruts it’s too wet to ride. Rail trail does almost always stand up and some of the other nearby networks that are more sandy tend to dry out faster.

Three volunteer members out hitting the trail main

Three volunteer members out hitting the trail maintenance for people to ride! Battle the mosquitoes and thorns to whip the trails back into shape. Many of you know, but for those that don’t, due to our agreement with the HCA we aren’t allowed to use any power tools. That means these 3 chaps were out there hand pruning everything back. We have one before and two after pics. If you want to ride the trails and help keep them in great condition we would love to have you out for our next build and maintenance day. Check our events page for future dates. Special thanks to Marc, our local @marinbikes_canada rep @mrmarcsinclair for helping keep the local trails running great.

Happy trails everyone!

We are currently still keeping this event on the c

We are currently still keeping this event on the calendar but will be watching the air quality heading into the weekend. We will make a decision by 8am Sunday morning if there is a reason to cancel. As always - use your own judgment. If you suffer from existing health concerns or have reason to not push it; even if the event goes ahead, take care of yourself. There will always be more events, more time to ride bikes, more time to see friends.

Otherwise if you're a member looking for a youth oriented social ride - see the event details and get signed up. Links in the bio under events for registration.

Our volunteer trail crew was out this holiday Mond

Our volunteer trail crew was out this holiday Monday playing in the dirt! We did some major restoration to Cut the Mustard and installed a combination of rock armouring as well as mechanical drainage ditches to the side of the trail to help with water management. We cleared a lot of small debris and did some pruning along the way. And we fixed the huge rut that had developed at the end of Eb and Flow. Thank you to everyone who stayed off Cut the Mustard until it was dry enough for us to go do the restoration. Our next build days will be June 4 at Brickworks and June 10 at Christie’s. All members are welcome.

Do you love riding at Christie's Conservation MTB

Do you love riding at Christie's Conservation MTB Trails? Are you looking for a way to give back? Are you wondering how to spend your holiday Monday?

Why not join us for our first open build day! We will be meeting in the MTB parking lot at Christie's for 9am. We will go to approximately noon. If you're a first time builder - don't worry! We will show you how its done. If you're a seasoned vet - awesome you can help guide people along. We supply all the shovels, rakes, etc.

Depending on how many volunteers we get out will affect what type of projects we take on that day. It could range from light raking to water damage repair, corner restructuring etc. Lets keep those trails running great!

The HBMBA is proud to announce the creation of the West End Bike Park Subcommittee. This committee has been formed to advocate for the creation of a regional-scale mountain bike skills park. We will be exploring different park options, and working with the City of Hamilton and other stakeholders to make this park a reality.

To best represent the potential users of this park, we would like to invite members of the HBMBA general membership and the community to join this committee. If you are interested and passionate about seeing a bike park built in the west end of Hamilton, we encourage you to join!

Our first meeting is going to be held virtually on Wednesday, November 16th at 8:30 pm. At that meeting, we aim to introduce the idea, present some of the background, and discuss the path forward.

If you are interested in participating, please email Paul Billone (paul.billone@gmail.com) and you will be sent a digital invite with login information.
