NEMBA Adventure Series - Best Dam Ride 2026
About this Event
The NEMBA Adventure Series is presented by MetroWest Subaru and Conte's Bike Shop!
Welcome to the Best Dam Ride! We’re here to celebrate local trails, build community, and raise vital funds for chapter trail projects. Together, we can keep our public lands thriving by riding respectfully, protecting trail networks, and fostering trail harmony for all users.
VOLUNTEERS: We need volunteers to make this event happen smooth. Each volunteer this year gets our new BVNEMBA Volunteer t-shirt in addition to the water bottle and hopefully time to still ride that day if they wish! Register as a volunteer and we will send you the google form to fill out.
