Because of the overhead involved with Mere Mortals (read: cost, and it's much more than the business cards), we'll be having actual members. :) Here's how it works:

Anyone can go on a Mere Mortals ride or join the announcement list. That doesn't change. You can still on any Mere Mortals ride.

Mere Mortals Members get:

  • 10% Discounts at Trailhead Cyclery and Evolution Bike Shop
  • Access to the members only list
  • Free stickers (once we get 'em printed) and business cards!
  • A membership card :-)
  • Priority for our free clinics and events
  • More to come!
Money goes to:
  • Insurance for Mere Mortals rides
  • IMBA and NMBP club (not individual) memberships
  • Club supplies
  • Hopefully to Patrol stuff like radios
Membership can be paid a few different ways:
  • Be a member of NMBP
  • Provide something useful to the group (e.g. Donate server space, thanks Eric!)
  • Pay Mere Mortals Mountain Biking a mere $15/year, renewable every August.
If you are a registered NMBP and patrol for Mere Mortals, please email stripes at tigerlair dot com. You'll need to send in a copy of your NMBP card and your membership form (no money).

Membership form is available at http://www.mere-mortals.org/membership/mere-mortals-membership.pdf.

Paypal is also accepted (use the email address stripes at mere-mortals dot org), but you need to fill out a membership form before you get sent a card.

To join, please send your $15 plus your signed membership form to:
