Let's celebrate our trails! NMMBA is partnering with Stone Hound Brewing to highlight the trails of the Pere Marquette Forest in Traverse City, Michigan.

What’s New?

New for 2023, the Traverse City Trails Festival will start and finish at Timber Ridge Resort. Timber Ridge has been a generous supporter of NMMBA and mountain biking for decades and it’s a natural fit as our venue!

What is NMMBA?

Northern Michigan Mountain Bike Association is the local MMBA chapter, operating as stewards of the trails and ambassadors for the sports of mountain biking. In 2017, we decided to replace the famous Long and Short's Ride in favor of a race-or-ride format that appeals to more folks! 

What is the TCTF?

TCTF offers races for mountain bikers of all abilities. Expect a unique mix of fun singletrack and fast open sections to allow for ample passing. The TCTF is part race, part tour and all party! Make sure you bring your appetite for the post-race food and drinks from Stone Hound Brewing.

Proceeds from TCTF will go to NMMBA's trail-building efforts, including projects like Summer and Winter trail building, trail events, and trail advocacy.
