Hall of Fame

 
 
 

Honoring the members whose sustained contributions have advanced mountain biking, land access and advocacy across North Texas.

Nominations are open through Friday, December 18, 2026. How to nominate »
 

The DORBA Hall of Fame recognizes current and former members whose sustained contributions have materially advanced DORBA’s mission to promote mountain biking, expand land access, and strengthen advocacy across North Texas.

Honorees represent the highest standard of service to the organization and the broader riding community. Contributions may include — though are not limited to — organizational leadership, trail stewardship, advocacy efforts, or long-term individual commitment that has delivered meaningful impact.

Inductees receive official Hall of Fame status along with lifetime membership in DORBA.
