1. AZMB membership dues are $20 per year and can be paid through Paypal on the AZMB home page. You must pay prior to being interactive on the site (contacting members, using the message boards, RSVPing for a ride, etc.) Thank you!

2. By joining AZ Mountain Biking (AZMB), you are agreeing to the Waiver, Release and Assumption of Risks at the very bottom of the page.  

With AZ Mountain Biking, you will find all different types of rides* from hard or easy, long or short, Phoenix areas or trails north in Prescott, Payson and Flagstaff. There are skills classes, training programs, free fitness tips, even dog-friendly rides. You can even request a specific ride; the day, the time, the terrain. There is something for everyone! Take a look at the web-site; the calendar, the postings and photos, to see if AZMB would be right for you!

*PLEASE NOTE: For beginner mountain bikers, we highly recommend taking a skills clinic so that you will be ready to ride with a group. There is a Meetup site specifically for this; AZ Mountain Bike Clinics, at www.meetup.com/azmountainbikeclinics. Please contact the Amy Regan if you are unsure of where you should start.
