I feel sort of bad about this (in the “why did it take me so long” sense), but I’ve just discovered the Backcountry Bicycle Trails Club.

The mission of the BBTC is:

Backcountry Bicycle Trails Club is a volunteer-powered, nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing mountain biking trails. We focus on education, advocacy and recreation, in addition to believing in a philosophy and practice of building common ground and fostering a club culture that “gives back”.

Sounds good to me. I’ve been wondering where you could find information on how/where/when to volunteer for these sorts of things. They’ve got a great trailwork page that gives you a schedule of current/future work parties.

Go check it out if that is something that interests you.
