RI NEMBA began in August of 1997 when about 30 concerned mountain bikers met at a local bike shop to discuss what we needed to do to keep our favorite trails in Arcadia Management Area open. We organized and created a unified voice for RI mountain bikers. Over time we have developed positive relationships with the Arcadia land managers and other trail user groups. We also do a lot of riding and stewardship in the Big River, Burlingame and Lincoln Woods.

In addtion to many weekly trail rides, we host larger EFTA/NEMBA Fun Rides in various parks throughout the season. Come ride with us (making sure to wear blaze orange during hunting season), and join us so that we can promote Rhode Island mountain biking.
