WHAT IS AREA 31?
Area 31 is an exclusive BMA riding area created to develop skills and further rider development within the club!
The current riding area features a multitude of challenges for off-road enduro and trials riding. The existing trails and enduro/trials challenge features are in place for your enjoyment. The BMA encourages all to ride within their ability and only take on some of the more advanced features when you are ready for the challenge! Please inspect all features previous to riding and choose your option or line wisely!
You must sign the online waiver before riding in Area 31. There are no exceptions. Without signing the waiver, you are trespassing and subject to fines by law and this will be enforced through our volunteer Wardens and local Police.
