[JT 23]

Anyone know of any good parks where you can camp and mtb that are within a reasonable drive? Looking to get few weekend trips planned for when it gets a bit warmer out. Thanks

Hey figuring this out was on my to-do list for early spring cause wanted to find a couple places I could ride and camp.

Maybe doing a club road trip to one of these for a weekend would be fun.........

I have a feeling that isn't going to be a problem:

...
Things to look forward to this year:
•Kicking off the year with the FORC winter party/ chilly cook off on February 2 at Front Street Freight House location.
•March meeting will be held at Blue Iguana in LeClaire, IA. Of you haven't Heard FORC is buying dinner.
•The Sylvan Island Stampede - April 14
•The Memorial weekend trip this year will be at Levis Trow Mounds. If you have never been, put it in ink on your calendar. May 25-27.
•I'm going to plan a trip to the Kansas City area sometime in June. More details to come.
•FORC Fest will make its debut this year (not sure when, haven't heard of a solid date yet)
•We will also see the return of a race at Sunderbruch Park in July.
•Of course Labor Day weekend, you will find me in Copper once again. This trip will most likely be 6-7 days long with the option to just do Copper for 4-5 days

There are many other events that I encourage everyone to look into. The entire Iowa and Illinois race series, Wausau 24, and many more. Keep checking our forum. I'll also update our calendar when race and event dates become less tentative.
