We all ride our mountain bikes to enjoy the buzz of a tough outing, to socialise with friends or to soak up the countryside atmosphere.

Few of us expected to go trail building, or to campaign to defend trails or work to open new ones. But to get the network we all want, that is just what we have to do.

IMBA UK aims to help you to help this to happen by providing a supportive structure which will allow us to speak more effectively with government, councils and land managers, and at the same time provide the facility to share problems and circulate best practice between members.

IMBA UK is a fully democratic organisation working for its members. But to be effective we need to have a strong membership base which truly reflects the needs of the UK mountain biker.

So the UK needs an IMBA UK - and IMBA UK needs you!

We're actively looking for people to act as our eyes and ears throughout the UK. If you'd like to help out by attending rights of way meetings, acting as a point of contact for mountain bikers in your area or perhaps adopting a section of trail to maintain then get in contact with us.
