Jail Trail/North Loop Update

The Jail Trail (aka The North Loop) is OPEN, use Rogo's Run as your out and back to the East end of the trail system and Max's Option.  Rogo's Return is still a bit soft and will need a few more days to dry out. 

With our race coming up on June 3rd we will be conducting trail work on Granny Hill and prepping the whole trail system for this.  Stay Tuned for these dates and times to be announced soon!

North Loop Spring Loop is Open

The North Loop Spring Loop is open (~3 mile loop) and so is the full Plum Creek trail system!  Have a great weekend of riding!
