Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association

COPMOBA is a group of mountain bikers dedicated to the development and maintenance of regional mountain bike trails on the Colorado Plateau. Our main trails include Kokopelli's, Tabequache, and Paradox, and we also work on all mountain bike trails in the area and are always working to get new trails built.

Donations help COPMOBA accomplish great things for the trails and mountain bike community! Donations allow COPMOBA to build and maintain trails and to advocate for the trails and mountain biking. Thank you for supporting and aiding our efforts!

Hi COPMOBA,
Four important things this month, and I’ll be brief about them all;
 

• BLM’s draft RMP comments
• Three Sisters
• Ridgway
• Cerro Summit

First, regarding comments on the BLM’s draft Resource Management Plan (and Travel Management Plan occurring concurrently) – If you have not made a comment, be aware that the comment period ends on June 24.  We’re working on final touches on the comments that COPMOBA will publish to aid anyone interested in considerations regarding mountain bike thinking in this process.  Our output will not be comprehensive, it’s almost impossible to be so, but it’s an effort to help share ideas about how the RMP process can be considered in light of trail based recreation, and specifically mountain bike trails, and future planning.  Look for these comments on our webpage, via an e-mail blast from our coordinator, and notice on facebook within a few days.  THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS OF PLANNING ON OUR PUBLIC LANDS – PLEASE TAKE PART.

Recreation activities in and around the Grand Valley over the past several decades have involved many facets of our varied outdoor opportunities.  Ranked high among the engaging, growing, and successful pursuits, has been the development of trail systems and individual routes in our area for many varied user groups.   Building upon the strengths and success of several existing trails organizations and the Bureau of Land Management, Grand Junction Field Office, an effort is underway to establish a new organization with the goal of combining resources, time, and attention in the pursuit of maintaining existing trails and creating new trails in the Grand Valley.  This new organization is called the Grand Valley Trail Alliance.

It is anticipated that the GVTA will initially be comprised of representation from user groups including various modes of motorized travel, the mountain bike community, and likely foot and equine users.  Importantly, the organization also seeks to include representation from local civic, business, and municipal bodies so that the organization represents diverse concerns and supporting interests regarding trail maintenance, the establishment of new trails, and trail support infrastructure, and is able to thoroughly review and vet concepts at the outset of the planning process with the goal of streamlining project implementation.  The breadth of partners in the alliance is also important in providing a critical mass and strength of voice for new projects.
