Montpelier Area Mountain Bike Association

Montpelier Area Mountain Bike Association promotes inclusive outdoor recreation by creating accessible mountain biking trails. Their mission is to enhance community engagement through adaptive biking, ensuring everyone can enjoy Vermont's natural beauty.

<a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.bestdayever.mov" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; -webkit-user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Best Day Ever</a> follows the deeply moving and inspiring journeys of adaptive mountain bikers Greg Durso and Allie Bianchi. Set against the backdrop of Vermont&rsquo;s rugged Green Mountains, the film explores the daily challenges of navigating life with a disability while discovering freedom, grit, and an ultimate sense of belonging within the mountain biking community. For MAMBA, hosting this film is a direct extension of its core mission: creating outdoor recreational experiences that are equitable and accessible to everyone in the local community. This month, MAMBA volunteers and partners officially wrapped up extensive trail modifications at North Branch River Park, successfully transforming the network into an adaptive bike-friendly trail system. Over the course of the summer, crews widened seven bridges, expanded tight switchbacks, and reworked narrow, off-camber sections to accommodate wider-tracked adaptive mountain bikes (aMTBs). This event serves as a celebration of this monumental milestone. &quot;For MAMBA, this project is about removing barriers and making the outdoor recreation we love accessible to more people in our community,&quot; said the MAMBA Board of Directors in an official statement. &quot;We&#39;re proud that trails we built six years ago can now be enjoyed by even more riders.&quot; The success of the North Branch River Park adaptive trail project was made possible through collaborative partnerships, including Black Cat Builders, Vermont Mountain Bike Association (VMBA), Vermont Adaptive Ski &amp; Sports, Montpelier Parks, Cabot Creamery, and Onion River Outdoors. Following the film, a panel discussion including Best Day Ever&rsquo;s co-director Berne Broudy will discuss the film and access and equity in outdoor recreation in public spaces. Finally, a raffle supported by <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.onionriver.com/?srsltid=AU7gw4U31CXCoWnOpb_ZjVG95RTwciBGPqIEOLoo9RIxjnf-NxQz1Kk-" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; -webkit-user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Onion River Outdoors</a>, <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.mavic.com/en-us/" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; -webkit-user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Mavic</a>, and local businesses will conclude the evening.&nbsp; For more information on Best Day Ever please see: <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.bestdayever.mov/" rel="noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; -webkit-user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">https://www.bestdayever.mov</a>
