A diamond in the rough. TAMBA Board Member, David Orr, and his dog, Cassie, getting technical out on Sidewinder. Looks a little different these days, but thanks to early efforts by trail crews and volunteers, it’s more than rideable.

Friendly reminder to stay on trail/ features — even though the visibility is much more than it once was in certain areas, avoid cutting through.

Huge thank you to our friends at the @tahoefund for beginning the Caldor Trails Restoration Fund, along with @tahoerimtrail and @u.s.forestservice for unending support following the Caldor Fire.

Despite the devastation, we’re focused on the future and eager to rebuild. With our Executive Director, Drew Bray now on board, TAMBA is even better prepared to meet this challenge.

The most popular mountain bike trails in the South Lake Tahoe area sustained heavy damage from the Caldor Fire, including burned bridges, signs and trail retaining structures.

Between damage from fire itself as well as from dozers constructing suppression lines, more than 15 miles of trail suffered damage in the Tahoe Basin.

Through the establishment of the Caldor Trails Restoration Fund, the Tahoe Fund has pledged to support the important work of trail building partners, and help get crews out to rebuild some of Tahoe’s most beloved trails.

Thank you for supporting our mission. To read more, visit @tahoefund 💥

Looking back on an epic last build day of the season on the Stanford Rock Trail. A great, fun group finished our final re-route section between the Summit and the Tahoe Rim Trail. The trail is open but soft, and will get better as it sits under snow for the next few months to compress.

Finishing a build season is always bittersweet. Despite a global pandemic and two years of record wildfires, heavy smoke, evacuations, and forest closures, TAMBA volunteers kept building on Stanford Rock. We kept to small, socially-distanced build days. In 2020 we quietly built nearly 1.5 miles of new trail. In 2021, TAMBA volunteers finished all the remaining bits and pieces of Stanford Rock. This last piece marks the completion of a top-to-bottom re-route of logging road (originally made to clearcut Tahoe’s old growth forests) converted into to purposefully built recreational trail.

TAMBA began working on Stanford Rock back in 2016 before beginning a top-to-bottom re-route in 2018. Stanford Rock took more than 6,000 hours of build time over more than four years. Shoutout to our volunteers, crews. and supporters who made it all possible.

In addition to building, TAMBA volunteer crew leaders have been planning the 2022 build season. Look for details and announcements in the next few months. (Hint: Epic!).

We are thrilled to introduce Drew Bray as TAMBA's new Executive Director! 👏

Drew spent over 30 years working in the ski industry, building teams that deliver a rewarding outdoor recreation experience. He brings solid relationships on the federal, state and local level, along with a wealth of involvement on environmental programs in the Lake Tahoe basin. He is an avid mountain biker who also focuses time on youth mountain biking teams, leading the next generation of trail users.

Since our formation in 1988, TAMBA has stood for the stewardship of sustainable, multiple-use trails and preservation of access for mountain biking in the Lake Tahoe Basin through advocacy, education and promotion of responsible trail use. We are proud to say that our purpose is clear as ever, with significant trail building opportunities ahead, and now, a professional leader to direct that mission.

Be sure to say hi 👋 when you see him on the trail. Welcome to the TAMBA team, Drew!
