Mountain Bike Trail Report

Trails are open. Dry/firm surface conditions. Crisp Fall day! Most of the 25 mile LagChilada course was cleared last week. We are in Fall riding mode, leaves are slowly falling daily to the deck use a little extra caution in the acorn drop areas otherwise some of the best riding of the year! We usually blow out segments of trail the beginning and later part of the week during the Fall…..keep the wheels moving! 

A great day Sunday 9/6 for the 36th Laddies Loppet mountain bike race! Thanks everyone that came to race and all that helped make it another special day. (few photos from the race below) Dry, dusty and fast conditions on race day. 

Earlier this month we hosted a four day MTB camp with local HS team “Wolves” based out of Moorhead/Detroit Lakes/Perham area. 45 riders with many first year riders on the trail….awesome to see! Also over 30 riders completed the “LagChilada” challenge Saturday…good job everyone! If you are part of a team in the MCA and interested in holding a camp at Maplelag, please reach out to Jay at 218-849-7669.

Be aware trees/organic forest matter can fall at anytime and assume full responsibility when riding.

Maplelag trails can be described as as “old school” or classic style mountain biking.

For first time riders to Maplelag, a good beginner loop is the Citizen loop and Sukkerwest at the end of the driveway. A intermediate to advance loop is the Sport Comp Expert loop. The entire 25 LagChilada loop is open and all the LagChilada signs are out. Click here for more about the challenge!

Thanks for the support of the Maplelag trails and maintenance.(Maplelag is privately family owned and operated resort with no outside funding. We are happy share the dirt and appreciate the support!)
