Meet at the park garage. Take the road to the camp ground, then the first left to the old park office, then right to the garage.
Wear boots and gloves if you have them. Bring water and a snack.
We will be doing more repairs to the beginner section. I’ll bring another tasty selection of beer for anyone who has time for one after work.

Just a reminder for everyone out there to take advantage of the trail conditions and worklog features on the site. Trail conditions allows anyone to report the state of a trail to help other rides know what trails are good to ride on a given day. The worklog is a place for you to enter any trail maintenance or club-related activities that you put time into. This allows us to recognize all the hard work that volunteers put in to the trail, and more tangibly, gives us great statistics that can be used in negotiating with land managers and in grant submissions. Whether it is 30 minutes spent trimming a trail or 4 hours at a work day, we simply ask that you log in and enter the date and number of hours worked.
As you may have noticed, we’ve installed a new discussion forum here on MadCityDirt.com. This new forum is intended to improve the experience for everyone and is also compatible with Tapatalk, the mobile forum application for iPhone/android. We will be putting up an archive of the old forum threads in the near future, but for now, just start using the new one and post up on the Website Feedback board with any issues or suggestions. If you are having login [...]

Trails are closed unless frozen. Really the only winter riding rule. Unfortunately trails do not dry in the winter. With the warm dry weather now the trials still will not be rideable. We need to ride when the trails are frozen. This is easy to do if they are snow covered, because you know when leaving home they will be frozen. It’s a little tricky when they are bare like now. It is best to ride when below 30 degrees and [...]
