We're giving away custom trail volunteer t-shirts as a way to say thanks to the volunteers who help maintain local trails and encourage new volunteers to get involved! These will not be available for sale and must be eared by sweat. Get a trail volunteer card, volunteer for 5 trail days, turn in the card, and then get a shirt! Check out how this all works here: Earn Your Shirt!
Who are the Friends of Off Road Cycling (or FORC for short)?

Getting close to fully trimmed. Thanks to all who have helped thus far! The sections that haven't been trimmed yet aren't terribly overgrown, but we'll want to get them soon.

Winter weather is here and local trails will be experiencing freeze thaw cycles. This means conditions will be unsuitable for riding (as well as foot traffic) until the ground freezes solid and daytime temperatures stay well below freezing. Click here to learn more.
When the days get shorter and weekday riding opportunities fade, some riders opt to strap on lights and hit the trails after dark. Below are the current policies of local parks regarding night riding and after dark trail closures.
Thats a Wrap!!
Great series and well put together as always! Thanks Mandy and everyone that had a hand in making it happen!!
