Global Majority Mountain Biker (GMMB)

Ride, Rally & Race Week

 

August 21 - 24, 2025

This summer join mountain bikers from across the country for the 2025 Global Majority Mountain Bikers Ride, Rally and Race. Four days of riding, racing and expanding our mountain biking community with countless smiles, and many miles ridden. It starts off with exclusive access to Trek Trails, a tour of the factory, followed by three days of riding the best trails in the Midwest with cycling advocates, industry leaders and mountain bikers, both young and old.

In partnership with Milwaukee Urban Trail Connections, Minority Mountain Bikers, the Chris Kegel Foundation, Trek, Metro Mountain Bikers, WI NICA League, and others, the 2025 Ride, Rally and Race will raise awareness and advance our goal of increased trail access, and trail development in Milwaukee County.
