Mission
The Montana bicycle guild, inc. (mbg) is a helena, Montana based 501c3 nonprofit corporation that has two main objectives for the work we do.

At the same time, the mbg runs a state-wide mountain bike race series called the Montana enduro series mes. We are committed to engaging local mountain bikers and working through new and existing partnerships to accomplish our objectives.
