Every member for 2021 who enrolls between Dec 15th 2020 to Dec 10th 2021 is automatically entered into a draw to win a Forbidden Bike Company – Druid SLX valued at $6,599.00
Packing a punch in all the right places with a spec that leaves no stone unturned, the Druid SLX sports the same all-carbon high pivot chassis found on every other Druid. Our ‘One Ride’ geometry philosophy sees the Druid’s ‘actual’ seat tube angle increase per size alongside stack height, and both front and rear centers, keeping you centered, balanced and ready for anything. Such readiness will be more than welcome with a suspension system that eliminates unwanted drive train forces, allowing you to tackle trails you’ve previously avoided. With 150mm travel in the front and 130mm in the rear, the Druid SLX won’t waste any time establishing what it can do, leaving you to rethink what you once thought impossible on a trail bike.
Membership fees are used for trail access and management, maintenance and construction including our paid Trail Manager and Trail Crew, purchasing supplies and equipment, volunteer support, and leveraging grant opportunities with matching funds
Membership supports youth community programming like the After School Bike Club and Ride-Build-Ride, and subsidized race entry fees for youth.
Membership also allows you to participate in all UROC activities and events such as trail maintenance days, group rides and UROC race events throughout the calendar year and covers your insurance requirements for these events.
And members stay informed and up to date with email notification of UROC events, news and initiatives.
If you use the Cumberland trail network for riding, running, or walking please support trail access and maintenance and become a member of UROC!
Memberships are valid for the duration of a calendar year (January – December)

A little rain couldn’t stop us from completing our last UROC Gravity 9’s ride tonight!! 🌧 🚵🏼♂️ 😃. #uroc #urocgravitynines #urocmember
While heavy rain might discourage you from leaving the house, trail users are a tough group that won't let a little wet weather prevent them from enjoying time on the trails. ... But rain is no joke when it comes to trails and it looks like this weekend is going to be another stinker. Significant rain can cause serious damage to trails, wreak havoc on trail drainage and create many problems for trail lifespan, especially when trails are subjected to continued or heavy use. When using trails during times of significant rainfall you may be doing more harm than good to the trails.
Please consider giving the trails a rest when it’s ultra wet. …and if you do go out, please go through the the puddles and not around them. You could kick out plugged drainage channels and help the trails drain. Or you could just stay home, stay dry, stay warm and watch the re-run of Red Bull rampage!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Blueprint became one of Cumberland’s busiest trails this summer, not far behind Vanilla, Blue Collar and Short Guts! The levels of stoke around Blueprint meant it got an absolute hammering and often saw 20min line ups to ride. After the heatwave cooked the trail to bone dry dust bowls and the subsequent rain gifted us bath-like puddles, we knew the trail was going to need a good fix up to get back to tip top shape. With a handful of dedicated volunteers and trail crew supporting the maintenance day, we repaired a whole bunch of problems. The line is back, the puddles are gone and the roll down is fixed and the clam shell berm is dry. Expect to experience some changes when you revisit Blueprint.
Please note fresh dirt with no settling time and with heavy rain in the forecast are not the best ingredients to open a revamped trail. Please roll your bike and not skid those knobby tires.
Thank you to the volunteers for all your help and thank you to trail crew for another successful project checked off the list.
Enjoy Blueprint Version 1.1 everybody.

Your UROC membership directly supports the access agreement with the landowners for non-motorized trail use, youth and community mountain bike programming and trail work in the Cumberland network!
Here’s a great story about United Riders of Cumberland, the Village of Cumberland, and two forestry companies came together to create a forest access partnership. As a result of nearby forestry activities, URoC had the opportunity to access the forest and build a burgeoning new local mountain biking industry. Get your 2021 membership or donate here.
