WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO

COMBO is many things, but at our core we are volunteers. People who want to help grow a sustainable trail system and mountain bike community in Central Ohio. That takes a lot of dedication and passion, and not just when it comes to riding. We need volunteers to fill all kinds with roles. Everything from marketing and fundraising to working with state legislators to gain more trail access. That takes a whole crew of a wide variety of talents, and if you want to put your skill set to the COMBO mission, drop us a line, and we’ll get you in where you fit in.

There’s room for everyone at COMBO. 

We hold monthly meetings to discuss progress on projects, new ideas, and things that make us better. They are open to the public and usually at a friendly partner venue or trail head. Come join us, see what goes on behind the scenes!
