UMBALooking to support UMBA? That’s great, because we could really use your help!
We’re a registered non-profit society that advocates and maintains mountain bike trails in the Ucluelet area. We’re entirely volunteer-driven, so please consider buying a membership, making a donation, or both.
Currently, there are three main ways to contribute:
Membership fees allow you to participate in UMBA sanctioned events: dig-days, group rides, races, and parties. The more support we can get, the more work we can get done.
A portion of your membership fee will also go towards helping us pay for the society’s insurance. Having insurance allows us to establish land-use agreements, and it protects the society and volunteers.
We have a very small base of local riders, compared to many mountain bike associations — so we’re really hoping you’ll financially contribute and help us get things off the ground.
If you ride the local trails now and/or would like to see more trails in the near future, please become a member!
We are now using Hivepass for membership!
The only way to become a member of UMBA is now via Hivepass, and it’s super easy it will only take a couple of minutes to sign up using your smartphone. If you don’t have a smartphone, you can sign up online on any device Join as a member (hivepass.app).
Here’s how it works:
1: Download Hivepass for free here: Get Hivepass
2: Open the app and enter your name and email address, set a password and select ‘Create Account’. Once you’ve done this, select UMBA in the organization list.
NOTE: If you already belong to another organization that uses Hivepass, when you enter your email address, Hivepass will recognize you and you just need to log in and then select ‘join other organizations’ from the side menu.
3: Select your membership package. (If you’re signing up the whole family, have their details ready).
4: Enter your personal details and membership type. You can add a donation at this stage too if you like🤘
5: Pay securely using a credit or debit card
6: Just like that, you’re a member of UMBA and you can start enjoying all of the benefits that brings and showing your support.
Maybe you’d prefer to make a one-time (or many times!) donation.
Maybe you’re just passing through town and want to ride the trails, or you’d like to see some more trails built for your next visit… We think of this as ‘Trail Karma.’
Or maybe you’ve already bought a membership, but you’re just feeling flush with cash and want to help keep things rolling.
Either way, we appreciate anything you can offer up. It’ll go to good things — like trail advocacy (and shovels).
(Unfortunately, we can’t issue tax receipts at this time as we’re not registered as a charity.)
Get in touch with our trail crew to let them know you’d like to help out with some trail-building, or check out the Events page to see if we have a scheduled Dig Day in the near future.
