01
Engage
Trail Collectors' Tribe is a community and no community can exist without engagement so don't just watch form side also take an active part in the community life, engage in conversations, share rides, or photos form rides, join events or invite others to join rides you organise.
02
Contribute
There are many ways in which you can contribute to the life of the Tribe however there three core obligations of every Tribe member:
1. Contribute at least 1 day per year to trail shaping
2. Organise at least 1 properly organised and announced ride for others to participate
3. Help others to join and engage with our community by inviting riders and sharing
03
Welcome
Simply say hello to the new joiners! We all know how it is when you join a larger well bound group you say hello and nobody replies. Yes we are a lot in a group so if we all said hello to every new joiner that would be too much but if you see there were less than 5 people who welcomed the new joiner to the whatsapp group for example then don't just sit there say hello too and make them feel welcome!
04
Respect
Respect not only other Tribe members, regardless of their fitnes or skill level (we were all beginners once), but also other trail users. Without respect, there are conflicts and conflict lead to destruction and prohibitions. Our aim is to legalise trails and promote mountain biking in our region and for that we need friends and positive image.
05
Support
Without your support, we won't get very far. The most evident is your annual membership subscription with which you ensure we will be able to cover all the operational costs and allowing us to continue providing you with our rides end events.
The annual subscription is set low because we don't want money to be a reason you miss out on riding with us, but in reality, at the current level annual subscriptions only partly cover our expenses so if you really like what we do and you want to do the extra bit to help us continue, you can also donate via Patreon to support our mission.
Another very meaningful way you can support the Tribe is by simply liking our posts on social media and by tagging us to your posts. It helps us significantly with visibility and reach. If we want authorities and potential strategic partners to take us seriously they need to know we exist.
And lastly but not least importantly, don't hesitate to tell our team members if you like what we do, we often put many long hours of our free time into organising all the events with everything around it to make it all happen and a good word is what really makes it all worthwhile for us.

About the Event
Save the date for a trip to La Grave in the southern Alps, an epic mountain ride.
More details to follow.
This is another ride in our summer series of high Alpine weekends. This isn't just any bike park this is La Grave and its name actually says it all! It is a lift-assisted high alpine trail system of 1'800m vertical difference from top to bottom, starting from a glacier above 3'200 with the most spectacular views and an unforgettable single-track experience. Trails start from a glacier above 3'200 and end in the valley at about 1200.
Here is a link to a clip providing a general idea of what to expect:
