Amador Mountain Biking Club

Recently, ATS partnered with some community partners to convert approximately half an acre of field on Jackson Gate road, belonging to the Mother Lode Land Trust, into a skills track and training facility for Amador Mountain Biking Club. The field was transformed to include rollers, berms, and balancing features thanks to donated labor and equipment from the folks at Booker Farms and Grady Landscapes. The track was shaped by volunteer hours from many helpful hands, including the folks from Coffee Tree in Pine Grove, parent volunteers, and a few dedicated local youth riders.  

The site hosted a three-day introductory skills clinic for 22 of Amador's youth, helping them learn and develop mountian biking basics. in addition, participants were taught about health, welness, nutrition, mindfulness, excersice habits, and participated in skills based games at the clinic. We are grateful and thankful to our community of partners and volunteers for making this event possible. 

​

With the continued collaboration of these partners and those to come, we are hoping to open this portion of C &C ranch as a park, accessible to the public in the near future. In it's current state, the track requires heavy maintenance after use, which our volunteer coaches perform between practices. With some upgrades to the site, such as building wooden features and armoring with Rock, we can prolong its life and reduce maintenace needs, offerering more miles of fun. If you are interested in helping us improve this facility in order to make it open to the public, please contact us. You can also donate directly to AMBC here.
