Michigan Mountain Biking Association

Each issue of the Bent Rim Bugle as well as the monthly e-Newsletter includes a Calendar of Events. These events will also be posted on the MMBA home page on a monthly basis.  It is very important that trail coordinators, chapter presidents and other volunteers send event dates in by the deadline. Send all information to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Events include:

• CPS races
• Trail days
• Fundraisers
• Chapter meetings
• Other MMBA events

It is important to include events for at least the four-month period following the article submission deadline.

Members typically receive the Bent Rim Bugle 6 to 8 weeks after our publishing deadline.  E-Newsletters are received on the first of every month.

The Bent Rim Bugle is only as good as the volunteers who submit their work. If it's about mountain biking, please send it in. Fact or fiction, don't be shy. Electronic submissions should go to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We prefer documents in Microsoft Word, Publisher, or simple text. We can't promise everything will get published, but we'll do our best.

• Photos should be high quality, sharp and in focus. They should not be too dark or too light. Some can be fixed if they're not too bad. Make sure photos of people are close and that the people are large in the photo. It's difficult trying to take a head shot of someone out of a photo when their face is really small.
• The minimum size is 4 by 6 inches
• The minimum resolution is 200 DPI
• Images should be in JPEG format (e.g. biker.jpg) with #5 or medium compression.
• Photos from web sites will not work unless they are huge.
• We need to know who shot the photo. If it was done professionally we need the photographers permission to publish it.
• Please include the photographer's name a caption for each photo.
