The North Loop

The North Loop is 90% open, fun, fast and dry! There is a section that is temporarily closed (taped, logs piled and soon signs) and will re-open at the end of the spring. Your compliance allows the trails to stay open each year.

A BIG Thanks to Bryon Amo and his dog Rode, for their dedication to raking and blowing out the trail this spring.

Thanks and enjoy the trails!

The lone message board...Trail update

Back in the day these were all the rage!  Check the message board and get some activity rolling on it!

Also:

The North Loop and River Bluff Trails are now open for the season for riding.  The River Bluffs trail is fully open with no sections to bypass.

The North Loop is open with the exception of Twisted Sister and one small bypass of about 1/4 mile about a mile and a half in.  These two areas are TEMPORARILY CLOSED until later this spring to ALL USES.  Please follow the reroute and enjoy the trail.  There is approximately 6 miles open currently.  Thank you for your patience and enjoy the trails.

Enjoy the day!

Loop and The Riverbluff Trail Single track and at the shops.

Bridge Repair in January?!

 McKenzie Schad went out before this last round of snow and replaced some of the broken boards on the bridges on the North Loop.

 A big Thanks to her for taking this project on.

 It's the little things that keep this trail in great shape.

Thank You McKenzie and Lola!

Single Track Escape 2011

 It's taken too long for me to get these photos up of this years race.  Thanks to all of you who came out to help set up, organize and volunteer day of the event.  I made the trophys again this year a big Thanks to Sunburst Granites of St. Cloud who continue to wonder what I am doing with chunks of granite for awards at a bike race!?...Dave is a good guy and is willing to support our granite needs.

 Gianna was a big help as well as her dad!  Thanks!!

 Set up went super fast this year.  We had a lot to do since the large mower broke down and we had to haul all of the smaller mowers out to groom the big field for the race start but everyone stepped up and helped out.  Having so many volunteers really made it a breeze compared to the first few years a few were out in the rain and bad conditions until the sun went down.

 Pat helped with the safety cones as well as mowing the tall grass.  Thanks Pat!!

 Raking and mowing the starting chute.

 The lap area all set up.  Joe and his son inspecting.

 Kate, Jen, Jenna and Avery enjoying the nice afternoon.

And a HUGE THANKS to Revolution Cycle and Ski.  They gather tons of schwag each year to hand out for prizes and even donated this Cannondale Moutainbike for our annual raffle.  All the money made from the raffle, food and the race will go towards repairing equipment and gas for maintaining the mtb.  and ski trails.  Thanks to Revolution for sponsoring the race and our other local sponsors that sponsor various events for the club and help out at trail work.
