Rain the night before helped settle the dust and ease the dry conditions making for nice riding for the short notice mountain bike race on the Maplelag trails today.
Report and a few photos from the day on the trail report page.
Saturday mostly dry until later afternoon, light showers moving in. Couple groups of riders hitting the trail reporting good conditions. Getting slick with rainfall near suppertime but the rain good for settling the dust and easing the dry conditions. Should be a nice day for racing tomorrow with drier conditions forecasted. The woods are slowing becoming more green with the recent warm weather. We have been working on the course for the short notice mountain bike race on Sunday, blowing out leaves and sticks on the singletrack and putting up signs and course tape. The trail is open for riding at no charge. Riding has been great for early season. The trails are closed to motorized use and horse travel. We will be hosting a short notice mountain bike race on Sunday April 25th. The woods are alive with the sights and sounds of nature including the calling of the loon during the evening hours… a great time of the year to be in the woods with no bugs and nice sight lines through the forest.

Beautiful Spring weather continues! Handful of folks hitting the trails this weekend and week and reporting very nice riding on the mountain bike course. The mountain bike course has been marked at all the key intersections. The course has been cleared with a few leaves blowing back in with lack of underbrush, and windy conditions. We have been working on the trail again this week, clearing out the track again. The trail is open for riding at no charge. Riding has been great for early season. There are no services in the main lodge. The trails are closed to motorized use and horse travel. We will be hosting a short notice mountain bike race on Sunday April 25th. Looks like a slight chance of rain on Friday and Saturday which would help “settle the dust” and Sunday looks great at this point. The woods are alive with the sights and sounds of nature including the calling of the loon during the evening hours… a great time of the year to be in the woods with no bugs and nice sight lines through the forest.
