CRAMBA NMBP Mission Statement 

In keeping with the mission of the Clinton River Area Mountain Bike Association, the Clinton River Area Mountain Bike Association – National Mountain Bike Patrol (CRAMBA NMBP) consists of dedicated volunteer patrollers partnering with land managers, landowners, and emergency personnel to assist, educate and inform all trail users in order to enhance their recreational experience. Volunteer Patrollers:

  • Assist in medical and mechanical emergencies

  • Educate trail users of proper etiquette

  • Inform land managers, owners and trail users of trail conditions through monitoring efforts
