Gun Deer Season

Please note that during the Gun Deer Season out at the park the singletrack is closed.

Time to retire the tools for 2010 and Celebrate!

The 2010 building season is now complete! It was an extremely successful season! The intermediate loop was completed in the spring and now the north loop of the most difficult section is complete. We now have about 7 miles total for the entire singletrack system. The goal for 2011 will be to complete the most difficult loop in hopes we will have a total of 10 miles of singletrack!

We would like to thank all of the builders for their dedication and hard work! If weather permits we will have a celebratory group ride this upcoming Sunday, November 14th at 1pm with food to follow the ride. Please come out and celebrate with us!
