[John Juras]

WEDNESDAY MTB RIDE ON NORTH SHORE TRAILS

If you haven't checked out the new segments of North Shore MTB trail, it is TIME!  Join us for a ride this Wednesday at 6:30 pm.  Meet at the new Rainbow Trailhead.  Directions to trailhead here.

NATIONAL TRAILS DAY - JUNE 1ST - Please mark your calendar

 

The trail project this year will be a relocating a section of the North Shore Trail near the new Rainbow Trailhead. We’ll be building new single track on a bluff above the river, to move the trail from the gravel service road. This project will be the start of another great year of trail building and improvement. Please meet at the Rainbow Trailhead at 9:00AM on June 1st. The project is only 100 yards from the trailhead, so you can walk, run or ride your bike to the work site. Long pants, closed toe shoes, and gloves are required. Please bring a water bottle. Tools and snacks will be provided. We’ll finish at 1:00PM.
