Who We Are

The Blackstone Valley Chapter of NEMBA

Our trails are volunteer built. Our rides are community led. Our access is earned through long-term relationships and consistent stewardship.

We work with towns, DCR, and land managers across the Blackstone Valley — building sustainable trails, running group rides, and keeping access strong for everyone who rides here.

Get Involved

Show Up. Make an Impact.

Volunteers are the engine of the chapter. Trail work, rides, events, admin — none of it happens without people showing up.

If you’ve got a few hours, we’ll put them to good use. Tools, logistics, comms, mapping, photography, first aid — bring what you’ve got.

Stay in the Loop

Trail updates. Ride schedules. Volunteer days.

We send an email when there’s something worth sharing — trail work dates, access updates, ride schedules, project notes. No weekly noise.

  • Rides, clinics, and chapter meetings — dates and locations
  • Trail work days and volunteer opportunities
