Bend Chapter

Where it all began, and keeps on going...

COTA’s goal is to maintain political presence, develop approved trails, and ensure the future of mountain biking in Central Oregon. To execute this, the
 Bend Chapter acts as the main liaison with public land managers from the USFS, BLM, the City of Bend and our neighboring COTA chapters in Redmond, Sisters and Crook County/Prineville. 

The Bend Chapter:

• Quarterbacks Trail Development: It’s much more complicated - and time consuming - than most of us understand. It typically takes several YEARS of active engagement with public land managers to propose new trails, get them through mandatory approval processes (think everything from soil stability to wildlife migration paths), to the actual design and flagging of the physical trails themselves. Only then can we finally assemble our volunteers to get out and build them!

• Promotes trail stewardship by creating a community of mountain bike enthusiasts dedicated to taking care of the trails everyone enjoys.

• Raises funds through donations, memberships and fundraisers for trail building and maintenance equipment, trail signage and so forth for all the chapters - in essence all sanctioned trails in Central Oregon.


Chapter Meetings:

Bend Chapter meetings are generally held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, starting at 6:00pm at the LOGE. Check our calendar or join us on Meetup for all event details.
