    About the Tennessee Mountain Biking Alliance

    The Tennessee Mountain Biking Alliance is devoted to protecting and promoting mountain bike access in Tennessee. The Tennessee Mountain Biking Alliance on November 8, 2008 as an alliance of independent mountain bikers working together to keep fellowing Tennesseans informed of advocacy news and events.

    Our goal is to see all Tennessee mountain biking organizations work together to protect and promote mountain biking at a state-wide level. We have reached a time when almost all other outdoor user-groups have formed state-wide advocacy organizations. If mountain biking organizations fail to step up and meet the challenge of taking advocacy to the next level, our voices will be diminished and we could loose access to the very trails we have constructed and maintained.

    If you are a member of an unaffiliated Tennessee mountain bike organization, please consider joining the Alliance.

    Even if you are not a member of a club, please forward all Tennessee mountain bike advocacy news to us for publication consideration. We are interested in publishing noteworthy news, including: action alerts, advocacy news, major trail work events, clinics and festival announcements. While we support mountain bike racing, due to the volume of races, we do not publish mountain bike race announcements or results.
