About
Stewardship, access, and community, made visible.
DoD exists to preserve and enhance mountain bike access through trail stewardship, advocacy, outreach, social rides, and responsible trail use.
Members and donors support real trail work, local partnerships, and close-to-home riding opportunities for all ages and abilities.
About / FAQ
Questions people ask first.
I’m new to the area. Where can I ride?
Start with Thurston Hills, Carpenter Bypass, Oakridge, Ridgeline shared-use routes, and North Shore. Conditions matter, especially in winter.
How do I meet more riders?
Come to a Happy Ride, Taco Tuesday at Thurston, a trail work day, or a DoD event. The newsletter is the easiest way to see what is coming up.
I don’t know anything about trail work. Can I help?
Yes. Every volunteer starts somewhere. Experienced trail stewards can teach brushing, raking, tread repair, drainage, hauling, and tool safety.
Why join instead of just following online?
Membership funds trail building, maintenance, advocacy, insurance, tools, and events. It also shows land managers that mountain bikers are organized.
Can donations be tax-deductible?
DoD is a registered nonprofit. Donations may be tax-deductible; check your own tax situation for details.
Why are you called Disciples of Dirt?
Because the club loves dirt, singletrack, and the good work of keeping trails open, sustainable, and fun.
Put time into trail.
No experience required. Trail work parties teach new volunteers how to brush, rake, move gravel, build tread, and maintain access.
Volunteer interestMake local trails possible.
Memberships, donations, sponsorships, and grants turn into tools, materials, contractor support, snacks, signage, and stewardship.
