Overview
Mission
The Central Michigan Mountain Bike Association's primary exempt purpose is to promote trail stewardship, healthy living, and a bicycle-friendly community through mountain biking. The organization achieves this by educating adults and children, advocating for cycling safety and access, and developing and maintaining sustainable trails on public and private lands throughout Central Michigan.

In 2025, the organization spent $3,381 on events to promote mountain biking. These included the 8 Hours of Ithaca James Musil Memorial Mountain Bike Race, Global Fat Bike Day with a cookout and fat bike race, a members meeting, and various group rides organized throughout the year.
