This past Sunday the CMBA hosted our annual Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day.  For the first time ever, the CMBA ran two fun events on the same day, one in Fish Creek and the other at Canada Olympic Park.  Families from both the north and south of Calgary could come out and enjoy biking with us at an event close to home.

Sponsored by Pure Cycle, Bow Cycle, MEC, WinSport Canada (COP), Ridley's Cycle, The Cyclepath, BaSE, Spin Sisters, and Friends of Fish Creek, both events had plenty of kids come and enjoy the great riding and amazing weather.

Extra special thanks to our photographer for the day Jose Quiroz.  If people would like larger copies of any of the day's photos, contact Jose at info@jqpix.com, or view more of his work at PinkBike.

 This is to get everyone stoked on riding and building this coming season.  

We were having some fun out in Fish Creek Park last fall.

Enjoy 

What do you get when you combine kids, mountain biking, beautiful weather, great trails and a BBQ?  You get the 2010 Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day held on October 2^nd.  Attended by upwards of 50 adults and kids and sponsored by several local bike shops, it was an ideal day to enjoy what Fish Creek Park had to offer.  Many CMBA members were in attendance along with new friends and a few riders who stopped in to see what was happening including a scout group of 10 that happen to be out riding for the day.

Over the last two years, the CMBA and volunteers have been working with the Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park Society and Fish Creek Provincial Park to move forward on a project to designate a single track trail network. Some background information is provided in a message from Jim Stomp (Site Manager - Fish Creek District for Alberta Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture), which appears at the end of this page.

As of spring 2010, there is a published map/brochure from Parks that shows the single track trails between 37th Street SW and MacLeod Trail. Below is a picture of the map on a reduced scale, refer to the Parks website for the full scale map and brochure. On-going efforts will focus on improving the conditions of the existing trails to ensure long-term sustainability and enjoyment for all the users of the single track trails.
