    Blue Mound trail stewards Karl Wigdal and Jay Gunderson identified 28 drainage problems on the Regolith trail and got half of them fixed thanks to the help of the Mount Horeb/Driftless NICA squad during the August 22nd work party.

    The list of student-athlete and coaches tallied up to 35 volunteers who donated a total of 59 hours, this also gave new crew leaders their first experience managing teams. And they did a great job! These repairs will allow low spots to drain better so we can open the trail much earlier after rain events.

    THANK YOU to our trail stewards, crew leaders and Mount Horeb/Driftless NICA volunteers!

    Our annual movie night is again upon us! This year we will be showing a premier of Anthill Production's/RedBull Media House's "Anytime" brought to you by Shimano!

    Anytime follows the collective ambitions of fifteen of the world’s best male and female freeride mountain bikers across forests, deserts, cities and high-alpine peaks, as they attempt to define the frontiers of their sport.

    Movie night is a fundraiser for our area MTB trails as well as a fun way to see old friends and meet new ones. Advance tickets (including advance order burritos by The Walking Jerk!) are available here for $15 (16 & Under Free!) or $20 the day of show.

    This fun event is for all ages and held at the outdoor space at Capital Brewery 7734 Terrace Avenue Middleton, WI

    In addition to the increased maintenance required by this year's intense weather events (clearing downed trees and trimming weeds more frequently), trail stewards and their teams completed a number of projects this year. These efforts were supported by fund drives, grants, municipal contributions and individual donations that enabled machine rentals, tool and materials purchases and in the case of Middleton Bike Park, hiring a contractor. None of this would have happened without the significant volunteer hours so many of you contributed. Thank you to everyone who made these projects happen, especially our trail stewards!
