Central Alabama Mountain Pedalers was founded in 2012 by a group of mountain bikers in the Auburn area who recognized the need for more trails and an increased awareness for the sport in Central Alabama. In September 2012, CAMP, already a 501 (c)3 nonprofit, became an official IMBA-SORBA (International Mountain Bicycling Association & Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association) chapter and received a $100,000 grant to improve 25 miles of multi-use trails within Chewacla State Park.
At CAMP, we are passionate about improving our communities in Central Alabama through outdoor activities, namely mountain biking. We do this through partnerships with the Auburn-Opelika Tourism Bureau, Chewacla State Park, and local businesses. We host multiple competitions and festivals throughout the year to raise awareness for mountain biking in the community and to increase tourist traffic to the trails in our area. It’s our goal to become an official IMBA Ride Center® to establish Central Alabama as a destination point for mountain bikers across the country.
In addition to competitions and large-scale rides, our members lead weekly rides on Tuesdays and Sundays in Chewacla State Park. See our Events page for more details.
