Welcome to FooMTB Trail Partners

Will You Commit to the Cause?

The Friends of the Outdoors Trail Partners has been established to be the primary focal group for Trail Advocacy in the upper Rio Grande Valley of Central New Mexico.

Our Mission is very simple, to maintain a focused club that fosters Trail Stewardship and Development in order for all to enjoy the splendor of New Mexico.

Our Goal is to bring people together in mutual friendship to promote the role that Mountain Bikers play in maintaining and improving the trails for everyone’s enjoyment.

Our Intent is that this effort will help Preserve and Enhance the Trail Access that is afforded Mountain Bikers by various Land Managers, and it will garner the respect of other trail users.

Our Charter is to maintain a disciplined Club Organization with regularly scheduled monthly meetings that are documented and communicated effectively. We will also maintain an open and transparent financial reporting system that will instill confidence in our membership that their Club Dues are being spent appropriately.


FooMTB Trail Partners is a registered International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) affiliated Club that is part of the IMBA Club Care Program. We are committed to upholding the standards that IMBA has established for its Clubs and the Trails they build.

You can join FooMTB Trail Partners by sending a Check to us or signing up through PayPal. The details can be found at the Membership Page.

Let's be part of the Solution and not part of the Problem!
Thank you for supporting your Trails!!!

ABQ Mountain Rescue Presentation

Albuquerque Mountain Rescue will give a presentation on what their group does, as well as what to do in case of an emergency when you are out riding.

This will take place at Sport Systems on Montgomery, 6:30 pm Wednesday the 25th of August. We will have bells to hand out, as well as T-shirts for sale, and of course can sign up new members so you can get your 10% discount on merchandise at Sport Systems.

Golden Open Space Session - June 26th

Posted by: foomtb on 04/08/2010 18:56:30
The second Summer Session for the Golden Open Space will be on Saturday, June 26th. As those have been working out there know, we are now deep into the Canyon and there's lots of great trail to develop. Jim would like us to meet promptly at the Trail Head parking area on La Madera Rd. before 9:00AM.

For those who want to car pool, there will be a gathering at the Tijeras Ranger Station at 8:00AM.

We have a need for some "Bob Captains" to bring tools in on a bike, so if you are so inclined, let Bob Galloway or I know.

Bring a bike!!! You can now ride to the work site!!!

The Rollicking Rock Trail is now open!!!

Enjoy Albuquerque!

Well we worked hard this spring and now we have a new trail segement in Foo-Ville. The City of Albuquerque Open Space (AOS) has given us permission to officially open the "Rollicking Rock" trail for riding.

National Trails Day was on Saturday and thanks to the effort of a number of dedicated FooMTB Members, we were able to get the trail completed to a point where we can now ride it.

I would like to caution though that the trail is still "green" so be careful on it. We will be doing some evening sessions to try to work out some areas that still need improvement, so stay tuned to the website and hopefully we can get a few folks to help really finish things off.

Next up is probably a diagonal connection over to the SKS, which already has a bootleg trail coming up a wash. We'll see if AOS want to consider it for a Fall Project. Then next year we'd like to tackle "Yucca Mountain". Yes a trail around the knob, mound, or what ever you wanna call it, and even perhaps a climbing spiral to the top.

So how was National Trails Day??? Well it was hot, but we had a nice canyon breeze so it wasn't that bad. We started around 9:30AM and we finish by about noon.

Here's a link to some pictures we took out there.

Thanks for your efforts to complete this project!!!

"Dog Days of Summer" are here already!
