Welcome to the home of the Hornby Island Mountain Bike Association. We have a lot going on: HIMBA co-ordinates volunteer trail building and maintenance days; looks after the MTB Skills Center at Joe King Park; distributes the trail map for Hornby Island, and every now and again, puts on one of the best bike races in Canada. Check the left sidebar for our latest activity.
How to become a HIMBA member:
Our membership is open to any and all who have a connection to the MTB scene on Hornby Island. We do charge a $20 membership fee to cover insurance costs, and joining is easy, click on this link to go to our membership form.
Build trails with HIMBA every 2nd Saturday of the Month, October to June.
HIMBA members work on trail all the time: a bit of shoveling here, some brush removal there. When we have a bigger project we organize a trail work day and recently we’ve decided to add fixed dates to the mix. This will allow more of our members to attend work days, especially those who live off of Hornby. Please mark the 2nd Saturday of each month, from October to June in your calendar. these events will be rain or shine unless the weather is particularly horrible. If we do cancel a date, we will post a notification on our HIMBA Facebook and Instagram pages

New Membership System
We are formalizing our membership system and have set up an on-line membership sign-up and payment system. Membership costs will be low, only $20/person per year. Membership funds will be used specifically to offset the cost of insurance. Fortunately, HIMBA generates revenue through our other fund-raising efforts, local races and events (like the upcoming Enduro), and selling HIMBA swag at the summer Hornby farmers market. This allows us to keep membership fees low.
Here are a few great reasons for becoming a HIMBA member:
- you love riding Hornby’s trails
- you want to ride well-maintained trails when you’re here
- you want to help keep the HIMBA board and volunteers insured when working on the trails
- you want to join in trail maintenance days
- you’re generally stoked about MTB’ing on Hornby & want to keep the good vibes rolling!
