The Central Idaho Mountain Bike Association is extremely excited to announce the Payette Lake Trail!
This summer we will start construction on the first mountain bike trail to complete the 33 mile loop around Payette Lake. CIMBA members have been working hard to put all the pieces of this project together for literally years, and we cannot wait to show you our plans!
The overall project is broken down into multiple phases and will take several years to achieve 100% buildout. Phase one will consist of constructing four to five miles of new single-track near North Beach that will connect to the existing Payette Rim Trail and the McCall town connector and by extension, the singletrack at Ponderosa State Park. Once finished, the trail will be primarily comprised of natural, modern single-track that is accessible to all non-motorized users. Built entirely on state lands, CIMBA envisions the Payette Lake Trail having multiple entry and exit points, intermediate trail difficulty, and a modern “flowy” trail feel, making it a true public resource for mountain bikers of all abilities. This project represents a unique opportunity to build a heritage quality trail in our vibrant recreational community.
Through our parent organization IMBA, we’ve hired Trail Solutions to design and build the trail. We chose Trail Solutions because we want to do this right. They are professionals with an unbeatable track record of constructing world-class mountain bike trails. Trail Solutions is familiar with the McCall area as they were the main contractor for many of the trails at Tamarack Resort.
To get involved or learn more about this project, stay tuned to our Facebook feed or sign up for a CIMBA membership. We will be holding an information night in the near future to answer all your questions and spread the stoke for a new trail that will take mountain biking in McCall to a whole new level!

2014 EPICS
IMBA has used the Epic designation for more than a decade.
the original intent of the designation — demanding, singletrack
adventures in a natural setting. The current Epics celebrate true
backcountry riding experiences that are technically and physically
challenging, more than 80 percent singletrack and at least 20 miles in length.
GRAND TARGHEE LOOP, WYOMING
Prepare for solitude in the Tetons and an escape from the summer’s heat
on this ride that begins and ends conveniently at the Grand Targhee
Resort. The Grand Targhee Loop is 25 miles on 100-percent singletrack. It
features a mix of smooth, intermediate-friendly trail with plenty of
technical sections to keep skilled riders alert and excited. The route
winds through alpine meadows blanketed in wildflowers, forests of pine
and aspen trees and jaw-dropping views of the Tetons.

SADDLE UP, SUN VALLEY, IDAHO
A world-class ride at a world-class ski resort, this 4-mile trail was
created to provide a fun and friendly experience in the Sawtooth

experienced riders seeking airtime need only to stay off the brakes.
Will Idaho join the National Bicycle Route System?
From the Adventure Cycling web site:
The U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS) is a proposed national network of bicycle routes, which will link urban, suburban, and rural areas using a
variety of appropriate cycling facilities. In some states, Adventure Cycling routes will be incorporated into U.S. Bikes Routes, along with other
regional and state routes. To date, 8 U.S. Bike Routes have been established in 10 states: Alaska, Kentucky, Illinois, Maine, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Virginia. Currently, more than 40 states are working to create U.S. Bicycle Routes.
IDAHO
is in
Phase I: Planning
Idaho is interested in designating routes for the U.S. Bicycle Route System as a transportation system that supports mobility, economic vitality
and tourism potential for communities. The bicycle and pedestrian office is currently working on developing systems within the DOT that will
support the effort, including conducting a bicycle corridor suitability project and forming a state bicycle and pedestrian committee.

The Riders Pledge of Safety
From LOOK! Save A Life
Make this promise to yourself-your family and your community
I will ride on the right side of the road as far to the right as practical and safe. I will ride single file when on narrow, curvy, or busy roads.
I will be as visible as possible to traffic. I will ride predictably and use hand signals and proper lighting in the dark.
I understand and will obey the laws regarding stopping and yielding at stop lights and stop signs, which are: in Idaho, a cyclist can roll through a stop sign without coming to a complete stop only if traffic is clear, a cyclist can go through a red light only after coming to a complete stop and only when traffic allows safe, clear passage.
I will wear a helmet any time I ride, not just in group rides and races.
I will foster a better relationship between cyclists and drivers by offering considerate, friendly, and polite communication with drivers and other cyclists.
When I drive I will expect and respect cyclists on the road and give them room.
I will not honk at cyclists.
When I drive, my attention and focus will be on the road and safe operation of the vehicle
