Mountain Bike Patrol is for mountain bikers who serve the outdoor recreation community with information, first aid, and minor bike repairs. As a trail patroller, you will provide first aid for both bikes and humans, CPR, and safety for the safe enjoyment of our local trails.

If you're interested in helping other trail users while riding and get some volunteer time in for the mountain bike community, you can join our mountain bike patrol group.

Our current territory consists of any Mid Penninsula Open Space Preserve mountain bike accessible trail. We are working with other land managers to assist with patrols in their areas as well.

In order to join the Mere Mortals Mountain Bike patrol group, you need to be First Aid and CPR certified, a member of IMBA's NMBP, and trained by the land manager you plan to work with. As a group, Mere Mortals is affiliated with IMBA's NMBP, and we receive a lot of benefits by working with them (including free tubes, clif bars, and access to their patrol forums).

What is required from me to patrol?

You need to be current on First Aid and CPR certification, be a member of IMBA's NMBP, attend the land manager's training, and let me (Anne aka Stripes) know that you want to do patrol with us.

There is no hourly requirement currently, but on patrol we do require you carry the recommended tools and recommended first aid kit.

If you are interested in patrol information, please email Anne aka Stripes at stripes at tigerlair dot com.
