Our Mission

MTB Vets is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing a mountain biking outlet and community for veterans.

More importantly, we are veterans who understand the potential challenges of transitioning into and thriving within the civilian community – the lack of purpose, the flashbacks to dark days and memories of good days, the longing for brotherhood camaraderie, and the loss of identity.  When you join the military, you join a big family; when you leave the military, it may feel like you’ve left your family ... which is uncomfortable and unnerving. 

We understand because we’ve been there. 

We want to help because we’ve lost brothers to the darkness of those challenges.   

We know we can make a difference.

As proud veterans and enthusiastic mountain bikers, we firmly believe in ‘trail therapy’.  The trail challenges the body, stimulates the mind, and soothes the soul … and your riding companions become family.  You belong.
