Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association

The Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association (COPMOBA) is fundamentally a community in action. COPMOBA is riders, trail users, and people who care about the land upon which we tread - working together to create a profound sense of place, home, and experience that speaks deeply to our many needs and wants and sense of community. COPMOBA accomplishes this work through decades-long consistent and responsible effort in our communities by sharing information, reaching out to our neighbors, gathering and marshaling information and resources, and engaging and respecting partners, all to create and maintain trails that help to connect us directly to land upon which we live.

Our core values that support our purpose and will help guide us toward our vision:

• Access and Inclusivity – We help provide more access to mountain bike trails that are open, inclusive, and accessible to all.
• Build – We create new, high-quality and sustainable singletrack.
• Maintain – We help repair, modify and serve as a steward to existing mountain bike trails.
• Community – We connect riders, businesses, nonprofit organizations and government partners to improve our local communities.
• Educate – We promote responsible trail use to increase community participation and stewardship of the landscape.
• Preserve – We protect the rider experience for non-motorized mountain bike trail use in concert with environmental stewardship and improved accessibility.
• Awareness – We provide a clear understanding of COPMOBA’s organizational goals and the community benefits of trails.

Volunteer

COPMOBA is a volunteer-driven organization that relies on individuals who are passionate, skilled, and willing to devote their time to advocate for, create, and maintain trails. There are many different types of skills and actions required to accomplish these tasks, and it is much more than just digging in the dirt. Typically, ten hours or more of work are needed for every hour spent building a trail. COPMOBA values a diverse set of skills, such as social activity planning, graphic design, budgeting and management, trail construction, and workshop leading.
