The Forbidden Freeriders have combined forces with The United Riders of Cumberland (UROC) and now act under the UROC name. We provide volunteer skills and labour and organize and run Trail Maintenance Days in Cumberland, BC. Trail Days are a sanctioned UROC Event including insurance, trail education and instruction as well as raffles and fun in the forest. These are family friendly days and we welcome volunteers of all abilities.
Trail Maintenance Days are the LAST SUNDAY of each month at 11am in the CRI Car Park on Dunsmuir. Expect to be out for 3-4 hours so bring food, drinks, sensible footwear, gloves a shovel and a bucket.

Group merge
The FFR was approached by the United Riders of Cumberland (URoC) a few months ago and a suggestion ws put forth about the two groups merging. We are currently in our third round of meetings to move forward and the possibility of the merge is very likely. URoC are a registered Non-Profit Organization that hosts group rides, races, the Cumberland section of the BC Bike Race and includes the area's most prolific trail builders. Our part in the group would be to host Trail Days that maintain the network of existing trails with volunteers of all ages. Seeing as the groups membership is nearly 50 women, it would be great to see more girls on Trail Days and involved in events.
FFR also hosts a couple of fund-raising events such as Bike'n'Bitz Bike Swap and a Free Bike Lock-Up at the Big Time Out music festival that both raise money for the Cumberland Community Forest Society. The events will be hosted by URoC if the merge goes through but FFR Crew will retain creative control.
It is so hard to make sure that egotistical pursuits are not accounted as more important than community good in the merge but in the long run, we feel the merge will benefit the community more than having two groups in a small town.
