The weather is warmer, the trees are greener and throughout the forests of New England you can hear the sounds of bicycle gears being shifted, squealing brakes and trail building activities as our season gets underway.

Blackstone Valley NEMBA—a chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association.

The mission of Blackstone Valley NEMBA is to promote sustainable mountain biking in the southern portions of Worcester and Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts and to organize a variety of fun rides and events for our members. For more information, check out the About Us section.

Tuesday Night Trailwork @ Vietnam

Tuesday night trailwork is in full swing! We're out every week unless it's pouring rain.

Each time you come out you'll be entered to win a frame from Sinister Bikes!!

Wednesday Night Ride Series

The Wed night ride series is back on! Check the Rides page for details.

Every week will be a different location hopefully suggested and lead by one of you.

These rides are open to everybody regardless of ability, it's not a race, and we do not drop anybody on these rides. Helmets are required as always, and inclement weather cancels the ride.

For more information, go to the Rides Page.

Upcoming Events (see Calendar for details)
