The Shawnee Mountain Bike Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping trails in the Shawnee National Forest open to mountain bikes. Founded in 1993, the SMBA has grown steadily in numbers over the years and has worked hand-in-hand with the U.S. Forest Service to secure a place for the growing community of mountain bikers in the Shawnee National Forest area. The SMBA is the only organization working directly to secure a place for mountain bikes in the Shawnee. The Shawnee Mountain Bike Association is working to keep trails open in the Shawnee National Forest, and you can too. The annual membership dues, at only $10 per year, are a bargain. Sign up today, and have a friend sign up as well. Support your sport. More members equal more power to influence mountain biking issues in the Shawnee National Forest. To join, either pay by credit card through the secure PayPal connection or simply fill out the application form and submit it. Within a few days, a representative from SMBA will contact you.

One might ask "how are the SMBA membership dues utilized?" Good question. We put it all to good work through:

  • Food and drink for trail day volunteers
  • Trail maintenance tool purchases
  • SMBA literature and postage (e.g. newsletters)
  • Good old fashion propaganda (e.g. pamphlets, business cards, etc.)
  • Event registrations and fees

ALSO, please register in the forum. The registration info stays in-house with SMBA and does not get distributed anywhere. If you want to keep up with what SMBA is doing, register in the forum and/or join and you will be put on the mailing list. Even if you don't plan on joining the SMBA, please register to we can keep you informed!
