TR Mountain Bike Association
Tumbler Ridge Mountain Bike Association is all about building great trails and an even better riding community.
Tumbler Ridge Mountain Bike Association is all about building great trails and an even better riding community. Since forming in 2018, the club has developed over 50 kilometres of mountain biking trails—ranging from smooth cross-country routes to rugged downhill lines. Their network highlights the best of Tumbler Ridge’s wild terrain, offering something for every level of rider.
With a strong focus on sustainability and fun, TRMBA builds and maintains trails that reflect the natural landscape while making mountain biking more accessible for locals and visitors alike. The club encourages community involvement, supports youth participation, and promotes responsible trail use.
Whether you’re new to the sport or an experienced rider, TRMBA invites you to explore the trails and get involved.

Stay on Designated Trails & Ride To Your Ability
Yeilding
Yielding is one of the main tenants of mountain biking etiquette. A good rule of thumb is – if in doubt yield to the other trail user.
Respect Trail Closures and Conditions
Leave No Trace
Simple! Carry out what you carry in. Leave nothing behind but tracks and gain nothing but memories.
Use Good Trail Etiquette
A lot of our trails are shared with hikers, ATVs, Equestrians, and other users. It’s important to foster good relations with these other users as we all have a common interest in trail maintenance and development.
Pre-Ride, Re-Ride, Free Ride
The safety of riders is always our first concern.
Additionally it’s important to set a good example to new riders.
We spend a lot of time talking about safety, worrying about safety, and planning for the worst while hoping for the best. Mountain biking can be dangerous but by following these tips it can be fun from start to finish!
ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET
Know your skill level
We know you want to progress your riding, so do we! But elevate your game slowly and carefully as you build essential skills. Peer pressure and the desire to keep up gets lots of riders hurt. Biking takes time to master so start small and take your time!
Where to ride
Where you ride determines the bike you need to have. These days there are a lot of different bikes and you should have the right tool for the job depending on what style of riding you are doing! If you have any questions about the type of bike you should have, chat with a local bike shop!
Don’t Stand on Takeoffs or Landings
We totally get that you want to scope out obstacles and jumps before you ride them (which is sensible and safe!). Be careful how you do this and be aware of your surroundings. Find a safe place to stop, park your bike, and stand.
Ride with a friend!
Riding alone is relaxing right up until the moment it becomes a bad time. Whenever possible bring someone with you. Either way make sure to leave a trip plan with someone and be clear about when you should return.
First aid training
As an industrial area there are a ton of first aid courses available in our region. It can make a huge difference out on the trail to know how to treat an injury. Don’t be afraid to call for help – Search and Rescue is always free in BC.
Maintenance
A well maintained bike is a safe bike. A poorly maintained bike is an injury in the making. Singletracks has a good guide on maintenance here but talk to us on the trail as some of our members are really good at this stuff and happy to share their knowledge.
Wildlife
Report all wildlife sightings to the Wildlife Alert Reporting Program (WARP) through the COS 24 hour hotline at 1-877-952-7277.
In Case Of Emergency
Don’t bother breaking glass.
Call 911 immediately. BC Ambulance and Tumbler Ridge Search and Rescue will come for you!
