Get Involved, Ya Bums!

Join our IMBA Chapter! From food drives to fund raising, trail advocacy to group ride organizing, coordination with local businesses, governments, and land managers, we could use your help - and becoming an IMBA member puts your money towards mountain biking both nationally and locally.

Every year we host the New Paltz Bike Swap, where the community comes together to donate, fix, and sell bicycles at bargain prices. All proceeds help the club continue its annual operations.

Santa Ride

The annual Santa Ride is a chance to be a real life Santa and Elves, giving gifts to families in need throughout Kingston. We cruise the streets decked out in festive lights and costumes, and stop at homes where the gifts will matter most. Save the date: 12/12/2026.

Trail Work

We build and maintain trails throughout the Hudson Valley and Catskills region, and we always need more volunteers. Requirements: Strong backs, weak minds!
