Join or renew your CMBR membership and you can race the Sat Dec 28th, 2019 Merry Masher FOR FREE!

Also, all CMBR memberships include a club permit to ride Eklunta, Inc. trails.

We would prefer that you join/renew and register for the race through EVENTBRITE, although they do charge a small fee, it really helps our volunteers to collect roster information and liability waivers automatically.

When you click register there is a “no race” option if that works better for you.

We also can accept donations through PayPal, but you will need to send us your contact information, as they only share your email with us.  This option requires a bit more work for our volunteers to process.

Finally, you can send us a check!  This is great for larger donations and there are no fees, but it may take us a while to get you entered into the system!  Be sure to include a little note with your contact information and what the check is for. Our mailing address is Chugach Mountain Bike Riders, PO Box 672555, Chugiak, AK 99567.

Thanks!

We’re happy to have a new bridge and boardwalk installed on the Bog Trail near Edmonds Lake.  Thanks so much to ACF Church and the Boy Scouts for putting together this great Eagle Scout project!

We’re gonna head out and check the Midsummer Masher course to make sure it’s all ready to go!

Come and join us Thursday June 27th at 7pm for a no-drop course pre-ride (that means we’ll wait for everyone at the major intersections).

Hope to see you out riding the new trails!

THE MIDSUMMER MASHER

The Mirror Lake Midsummer Masher mountain bike race is offered in partnership with Arctic MTB’s summer Mountain Bike series.  Arctic MTB (through the Arctic Bicycle Club) covers the insurance and registration for the Midsummer Masher as well as the vast majority of Southcentral Alaska’s summer bike races (Road, Mountain and Cyclocross.)  A portion of every Masher registration is donated to CMBR.

WHEN: Sunday June 30th, 1pm start.

WHERE: Click for the Midsummer Masher Map on Trailforks

COST: early registration is $20 adults/free for juniors ($30 race day). An annual Arctic MTB (ABC) race membership is required.  This is not the same as a CMBR membership.  For those racing the Arctic MTB series, please bring your bib, but you must register for the Midsummer Masher separately.  ArcticMTB will donate $5 from each registration to CMBR. (Registration is $30 day of race.)
