June 2025 is California Mountain Biking Month!

June 2025 is California Mountain Biking & Trail Stewardship Month!

In June, Senator Catherine Blakespear and Assemblymember Gail Pellerin will introduce a resolution designating June 2025 as California Mountain Biking Month. #CAMTBmonth is a celebration of the lifestyle and culture of cycling and trail stewardship in California. The resolution recognizes the deep roots of mountain biking in California, as well as the role that many cyclists play as stewards of the land they ride. The resolution also highlights the numerous benefits mountain biking provides to Californians and communities across the state.

CAMTB is thrilled, once again, to see the California Legislature formally recognize mountain biking and its immense benefits to our state’s health, economy, environment, and communities. We applaud Assemblymember Pellerin and Senator Blakespear for introducing this resolution.

See below for additional information about the celebration as well as a list of upcoming community events.

About #CAMTBmonth

The seeds for celebrating California Mountain Biking Month surfaced two years ago at the Coalition’s annual strategic planning retreat with members and partners in Santa Cruz, California. While sitting around a campfire, two dozen representatives from CAMTB’s advocacy community brainstormed ways to improve mountain biking for all Californians. Since this State’s budget was constrained that year, our best strategy was to introduce a bill that would a) get CAMTB in front of many legislators, b) be a relatively easy legislative win, and c) have minimal fiscal impacts. Shortly thereafter, CAMTB drafted its first piece of legislation, ACR 152, not just to celebrate and promote California’s extensive mountain biking history and culture, but to inform the public and legislators about all the great benefits that trails and biking provide. ACR 152 did all of this and more.

In 2025, the 2nd annual California Mountain Biking Month, will be celebrated once again at the State Capital and across the state. CAMTB will be sponsoring an additional piece of legislation, this time to be read on the Senate Floor, by the bills author, Senator Catherine Blakespear.
