About
Who are the WMBC (WHIMPs Mountain Bike Coalition)?
The WHIMPs Mountain Bike Coalitions is a non-profit organization that works with local agencies and other user groups to enhance and preserve the trail systems in Whatcom county.
WHIMPs formed in 1986 and has been actively promoting open and multi use trail access since the first Greenways campaigns. WHIMPs was renamed to WMBC in 2009.
WMBC is responsible for any trail maintenance and construction on Galbraith Mountain and ensuring that the trails and features are within the guidelines established by the land-use agreement between WMBC and the landowner, Trillium. We have also formerly adopted maintenance duties in cooperation with the Bellingham City Parks: Miranda Trail, Lake Padden Upper Loop Trails and the Civic Field Dirt Jump Park. Whatcom County Parks: Hush, Hush Trail (Devil's Club).

FTTRC
About
We are a bunch of folks who like to have fun with mountain bikes. Not all of us wear lycra - some of us like air, big bikes and baggy shorts. No one gets graded on the bike they ride, the number of crashes they suffer, or how fast (or slow) they can ride. What we have in common is a love for riding trails, a desire to make cool new trails, and a commitment to keeping trails open for biking. Whatever your style, we invite you to join our growing community.

Our Purpose
- 1 Support
We are here with permission from DNR to help DNR's maintenance program for Capitol Forest's trails, trail heads and camping areas. Our tasks will directly address the most needed form of support that DNR needs at the time. We may be picking up trash one weekend or refurbishing old signs or trail maintenance the next.
- 2 Education
We abide strictly by IMBA's Trail Solutions guidelines in order to maintain and build sustainable trails for all users. This is knowledge that we share and teach to all FOCF work party participants.
Trail use and sharing. We educate new and seasoned mountain bike riders on the proper etiquette of trail sharing and bike control around other users, specifically equestrians. We all share the trails in Capitol Forest, and in order for all user groups to enjoy continued open access and a combined massive work force of volunteers on all of the trails we will continue to strive for harmony amongst all users.
- 3 Responsibility
FOCF encourages responsible and safe mountain biking in Capitol Forest that considers first all other trail users on our shared trail systems. Our objective is to continue to promote Capitol Forest's historical trend of safe, respectful mountain bike trail riding that blends well with other trail users on our shared trails here. Our passion is fresh air, quality trails and trail rides.
