Mountain Bike Trail Report

The mountain bike trails are open. Mostly tacky riding surface. Recent wind bringing a few sticks down etc. but overall nice riding conditions. Thursday we cleared out the deadfall and blew out the entire loop on Bullhead Bootleg. Friday we blew out Hudson’s Hula and a few other short segments. All the trees have been cleared off the entire 25 mile LagChilada course but always be prepared for any new deadfall.

Last week we started dirt work, tuning sections of the course, focusing mainly on the Sport/Comp/Expert loop. We will have started blowing out the course again, clearing small sticks etc. after some windy days the past week. 

The LagChilada challenge remains in place, handful of riders already completed this year! The LagChilada encompasses all the trails at Maplelag. Click here for more details.  Secondary signage is up and the LagChilada course is marked. Click here for the Strava map which can be downloaded

 Maps: Trailforks and click on Maplelag map for reference of the trails. 

The Maplelag trails are described as classic or old style. Featuring more narrow singletrack with roots and rocks and generally more technical in nature. A good beginner loop is the Citizen Loop and a good intermediate loop is the Sport loop.

Maplelag is a family owned and operated business. We are one of the few MTB trail systems in the Midwest that maintain the trails ourselves with no outside funding or assistance and pay property taxes that in turn help support other trails locally and in the state! Please consider a trail pass to offset some of our expenses. We love to mountain bike and share the trail with others…what it is all about! Thank you.
