NEWS
2022 was an extremely productive year for PMTB.
2023 is going to be busier than ever before.
Our positive momentum is opening up new opportunities for more quality trail mileage to ride, and improvements to existing trails. Your support is the most important key to our success in 2023.
Augusta Mine is open!
We had our ribbon-cutting ceremony in Sterling Forest State Park and Augusta Mine is official and ready to ride. You can find the details on
Trailforks.
Alpine NJ Trails Plan 2022-2023:
Last spring and summer, Palisades MTB collected trail usage data that we used in conjunction with a physical count to create a presentation that we will be presenting to the
GNYC and
PIPC. We are moving the ball forward to create a trail master plan for Alpine. We want more trails, closer to home.
Redback volunteer work has begun in Sterling Forest
Tahawus Trails machine work will continue this month. Hand and finishing work has begun thanks to our volunteers. We can't do this work without you. Please consider volunteering or donating if you have time constraints. This is a community-built trail and YOU are the community.
Sterling Forest 2023-2024 Work:
Palisades MTB has been working with NY State Parks, NYNJ Trail Conference, and the Palisades Interstate Parks Commission, to help develop our next phase plan in Sterling Forest. We've completed our planning phase and are in the process of applying for permits and grants.
We will need major fundraising contributions for this project that will extend the current Sterling loop by 50%. We are currently seeking corporate sponsorship for this project. Please contact us if you or someone you know is interested in sponsoring this project.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
MEMBERSHIP
Keep your membership active and in good standing. Numbers count when we propose new projects. This year, we had record membership, but we recognize that we are still missing many of our local riders. Spread the word and let’s become one powerful voice! Click
here to renew your membership.
VOLUNTEER
We have a core group of people who give up days of riding to build and maintain trails, but we can’t keep relying on the same people all of the time. You don’t need any experience and you will discover that maintaining and building trails is both rewarding and fun. Give up a day on the pedals and come lend a hand. Your next ride will be better because of it! Click
here to follow our volunteer announcements.
DONATE
If you are able to donate to any of our projects, please consider doing so. Your donations this year helped us hire a professional trail contractor with equipment to speed projects along, saving MONTHS of hand work. Click
