After many years of service, several members of the BTCEB board are stepping away from their leadership roles. We are using this reorganization opportunity to open up the Board to anyone who would like to help shape the future of mountain biking in the East Bay. At our next board meeting on Wednesday, May 13th, we will be holding elections for all board positions, and we encourage all interested members to consider applying for one of our openings.

Bicycle Trails Council is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was founded in 1987 by a dedicated group of volunteers who successfully fought the planned closure of almost all bike trails in the East Bay! We are the oldest mountain bike advocacy group in the United States and one of the founding clubs of IMBA. Our mission is to educate cyclists in responsible mountain biking, to advocate for appropriate access and to promote community among trail users so all may fully enjoy and preserve the natural spaces of the East Bay.

Applicants for board positions must be current dues-paying BTCEB members (you may join now if your membership is not current). Terms of office will be one or two years, depending on the position, and you will be expected to attend one board meeting every two months, either in-person or via teleconference/Zoom. There will also be opportunities to contribute to our rides and education programs, advocate for increased access to singletrack, and develop and maintain trails in East Bay parks.
