The North Loop is CLOSED to Cycling for the Season.

If your looking for a place to ride your Fat Bike head on down to Plum Creek!  It's been ridden in and is a lot of fun!  Since there is enough snow at the North Loop for the ski club to groom their trails the single track is CLOSED.  You can certainly snow shoe or walk on the single track just be cautious for skiers when crossing the trail.

Happy New Year!

Trail Work Tuesday at 5 p.m.

We will be doing trail work Tuesday 5pm at Plumb Creek.  Meet at white gate near trail head.  The goal is to get the whole system mowed for good fall/winter riding.  Hope to see you all out there! #winteriscoming #fatbikes

Beverages will be provided.
