We are incredibly excited to officially announce a brand-new monthly event series for the 2026 season: OMBA Days.
Our goal this year is to focus our community’s energy on one specific trail network per month. Whether you are a seasoned rider looking for hidden local lines, or a rider wanting a zero-pressure environment to explore new networks, or a nature lover who wants a casual woods hike, these days are built for you.
What to Expect
Each monthly event is tailored specifically to the unique layout of the location. While our first two events feature a morning timeline focused on group trail activities, a community BBQ, and sponsor giveaways, the formats and activities will shift dynamically for other destinations to include unique challenges, low-prep games, and community hub activities.
