River Region Mountain Bike Alliance began as The Trail of Legends Association, Inc. (TOLA), a grassroots effort led by citizens of Elmore County who were interested in creating scenic trails in central Alabama. With a clear mission the group moved forward with plans to develop a trail system in Elmore County and The Swayback Bridge Trail was the created. Over the years, many volunteers from the area helped build and maintain Swayback. In 2019 a group of mountain bikers in Central Alabama recognized the need for increased awareness for the sport and the need for more maintenance at Swayback. Both groups saw the potential and in March of 2019, TOLA, a 501 (c)3 nonprofit and original developers of the Swayback Trail, handed the keys over to RRMBA. As part of the development plan, RRMBA partnered with CAMP (Central Alabama Mountain Pedlars) in order to build a base of supporters in our area. CAMP, an IMBA/SORBA chapter, is based in Auburn and has done amazing work in developing the sport in the Auburn area. They are a key partner of RRMBA as we grow our local membership.
