Ohio Mountain Bike Association :: Home
Description
The Ohio Mountain Bike Assocation is an association for Ohio based mountain bike clubs and groups. We are an all volunteer organization dedicated to safeguarding the future of mountain biking in Ohio through the promotion of responsible riding, the establishment and maintenance of mountain biking trails, and to promote statewide mountian bike advocacy efforts. OMBA promotes the following:
Respect trail and road closures (ask if uncertain); avoid trespassing on private land; obtain permits or other authorization as may be required. Federal and state Wilderness areas are closed to cycling. The way you ride will influence trail management decisions and policies.
Be sensitive to the dirt beneath you. Recognize different types of soils and trail construction; practice low-impact cycling. Wet and muddy trails are more vulnerable to damage. When the trailbed is soft, consider other riding options. This also means staying on existing trails and not creating new ones. Don't cut switchbacks. Be sure to pack out at least as much as you pack in.
