Here is our 2025 Calendar, come back in the spring for more details on our Adventure Series Ride, trip to Thunder Mountain, and mini-tour of Bike Borderlands. Once the new event module is built out on nemba.org these events will be built out with full details including directions, parking locations, and contact information. We can't wait to see you on the trails!
SCMA NEMBA 2025 Group Rides & Events
All group rides will have a minimum of an A and B group with leads and sweeps.
Depending on the number of attendees and rider skill level, our B group typical breaks into a B+/B/C clusters. It is advised that you do not join the A group on your first group ride as it is high paced, no stops.
B/C groups are no drop and perfect for socializing, skill building, and getting to know the trails in our area.
