TRAIL REPORT:

5/21/12

PERFECT RIDING CONDITIONS!
Sunday 5/20/12 we cleared all down trees in the current work area on Phase 3 and it's now fully ride-able, but not all groundwork is complete.

**Feel free to check it out. It's not all signed yet but will get signs up hopefully by the weekend.
**Use caution as it's still under construction.

This is a more advanced section mixed with climbs, fast downhills and some tech features that are in progress with more to be added! This new section is adds almost a MILE LONG of NEW Singletrack!
(NOTE: Map Lines for Phase 3 are not exact)

Michigan Mike has been hard at work on a new section of trail and also fixed up the low damp spot by the bridge.
Thanks Michael for all your hard work and volunteering efforts this Spring!

**An ALL NEW more advanced section is almost complete! **
With a mix of good steep climbs and fast downhill sections that will for sure get your heart rate peaked.  There are a few downed trees to cut and a few tweaks to make and it will be ready to be opened up and signed to ride.
Stay Tuned!

ALSO NOTE TO ALL MOUNTAIN BIKERS!
Maplelag Resort will be having their SPRING OPENER RACE on Saturday May 26th!

MARCH 15th!!!

To think 5 days ago I was skiing with solid full coverage on the xc ski trails and today the trail head looks like this!
The Singletrack is about ready to ride!  A few snowy patches left and some puddles of water on the exit section, but after the upcoming forecast of 70+ degrees, it should be ready to ride!  I'm surprised by how fast it dried out.  I'm sure the frost will let out some more moisture, but after witnessing the last few springs on the trails with way more snow fall, I'm thinking it's going to be a non issue with the sandy soil base. So get those bikes ready to ride!
 Drying out Nicely!
Leaves mostly clear throughout!
A few Snow Patches Left.
The Largest section of Snow left on trail system.
The Change of Seasons...Faded Ski Tracks
**New Techy Fun Section was Mapped/Discovered for a spur loop connecter,which will be our 2nd mission after full trail detail and to dial in last Fall's additions.

Perfect Fall Day! 10-16-11

Went out with the Girls on Sunday to check out the trails, they got on their bikes and just took off. I followed thinking it wouldn't last long, but they keep going and over heard at one point, my oldest yelling, "THIS IS AWESOME!" They both ended up riding/STRIDING the whole lap!
All Levels!
Dad can we do another lap?
Barry sneaking down from Duluth with Pam to hit up a few laps after a morning stop at Maplelag and hitting up Cuyuna the day before.
