Welcome.  You can join SWAMP either from the home page, or grabbing a form at a LBS, trailhead, or sometimes Board Members have them at group rides.

For the annual do they just charge your credit card when the membership fee comes due? That way you don't have to remember to do it each year?

Just paid the $20.00 membership. I enjoy the trail's out at Boyette and Alafia too much not to give something back. Best bang for the buck investment ever. Thanks everyone.

Just joined the other day.  I'm new to mountain biking.  Have been to boyette twice by myself.  Love it.  Looking forward to upcoming group trips.

Just joined a couple of weeks ago, got my news letter and card, lots of great information. I been out to Balm and Alafia, and have ridden North Creek over and over again 'till I don't tap, It's fun and motivational to really see oneself getting better, (and safer).

I even acquired a Swamp sticker from a member named Amy at Alafia today.

Please upgrade me as I'm looking forward to getting involved.

Hello all!  I recently returned from the Middle East and got orders to FL.  While over in the Middle East I bought a Trek 69er hard tail (no longer produced). I rode that bike every chance I got.  I even joined a MTB club and rode cross country a lot.  Now that I am back in the good ole U.S. of A, I want to continue what I started a year ago.  My bike was finally delivered to my house and it is put back together and ready to go!
