Welcome to the online home of the Hornby Island Mountain Bike Association. We have a lot going on: HIMBA co-ordinates volunteer trail building and maintenance days; Runs an information and merchandise booth at the weekly farmer’s Market; looks after Joe Ride, 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.

HIMBA will be hosting an Island Cup Enduro on Saturday June 13th of 2026. We like the think that we put on one of the funnest and best bike races of the year, and most riders seem to agree. when we last did the event in 2024 it sold out in record time.

HIMBA MONTHLY TRAIL DAYS
HIMBA members work on trails all the time: a bit of shovelling 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.

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!
