The MCA is served by volunteers that provide oversight, leadership, and expertise in many key areas.
The Manitoba Cycling Association depends on a strong club network for the continued growth of cycling in the Province of Manitoba. The local cycling club is the first contact most cycling enthusiasts make with organized cycling.
They organize most races and tours across Manitoba in addition to organizing recreational activities for their members (i.e.: club rides, skills clinics, social events etc.)
Clubs need volunteers in order to provide member activities and community events.
Join a club and sign on as a ride leader, board member, race organizer or volunteer, official, coach, activity leader, or race committee club representative.
For more information on how you can help, contact a local cycling club near you.
In order to ensure positive member engagement, communication, and create an open forum for organizational transparency, the activities of the Association are carried out by Standing and Ad-Hoc committees.
Committees are a chance for you and your clubs to engage with the MCA in an effort for us to work together to improve cycling across Manitoba.
Each MCA affiliated club in good standing may appoint an individual member as a representative of their club to each Race/event committee (Road, Mountain Bike, Cyclocross).
For more information on how you can help, contact the Club President or contact the Race Discipline Director of the sport you are interested in.

The Bison Butte Mountain Bike trails are the legacy trails that were developed in Winnipeg for the 2017 Canada Summer Games.
Trails are open to the public for multi use and are leased to the City of Winnipeg by FortWhyte Alive. Manitoba Cycling has a memorandum of understanding to maintain the existing trails at this site. Each Spring the MCA (or a MCA representative) will host a volunteer night(s) to assist with garage clean-up, racking trail ruts, and starting trail preparations for summer use. During the summer the MCA typically hires students for ongoing maintenance.
In addition, please help spread the word that Manitoba Cycling has a National Sport Trust Fund which has been set-up to accept donations and issue tax receipts. Funds raised go directly to the ongoing maintenance and future development of Bison Butte. More information here: HERE
