    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

    We wrapped up our summer season of CORP skills clinics for 2024! A huge thanks to our volunteer instructors and our participants! We had just under 100 participants in clinics ranging from MTB foundations, Learn to Jump, Cornering, Technical Riding, Climbs/Descents introduction to Trials Riding as well as Women's Clinics on these focused skill areas.

    We loved seeing clinic participants swapping contact details and starting new riding groups as much as the progress we saw everyone made with their skills. Congrats! We look forward to more fun in 2025.

    CORP Clinics raised over $9,000 in donations this season which help us build and maintain awesome trails in our area! Amazing!

    Special thanks to instructors : Eric "The Victorious" Vincent, Jennifer "The Jumping Jockey" LaMontagne, Amber "The Magnificent" Markey, Jereme "the Noble" Noffke, Beth "The Boss" Ross, Elise "The Electric" Uphoff, Drew "The Dashing" Ross, Matt "No Herky Jerky" Yerke, Isaac "The Friendly Neighborhood" Neff, Bob "Bald is Beautiful" Hubanks, Caitlin "The Nimble" Newmann, Freddy "Airborne" Astrada and Matt "Shazam" Schultz !!

    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!

    CamRock: Added a jump/flow line that includes eight table jumps, multiple berms and a couple of drops to Outback. Also reshaped berms, rollers, jumps and landing zones on Mayor's Playground jump line. —Dave Reece

    Chief Naaga Keramani Park (Baraboo): Added a quarter mile of flowy, hand-cut singletrack. Reminder to participate in the trail maintenance clinic on Saturday, September 7th. —Pete Schmitz
    Dam Trails: Completion of Rockwire which will alleviate congestion at NICA practice and improve overall flow. —John Sauer

    Middleton Bike Park: Completion and grand opening of all-weather pump track. —Jon Augsburger

    New Glarus Woods: Completion of first mile of trail. —Ben Neff

    Seminole: Scout Milo Plant completed his Eagle Scout Project of widening the Green loop to accommodate adaptive cycles. Widening bridges on the green loop will happen next. —Cory Nelson

    Quarry Ridge: Added an addition to Northwoods, built a new beginner/skills loop, improved drainage and features throughout the park. —Michael Schrader

    Quarry Park: Rock armored the tallest and steepest lip at the park, reshaped eroded lips and berms, closed off improvised trails, cleared deadfall and overgrowth from the outer XC loop. —Matt Hamann

    Stop by the Capital Brewery Beer Garden for a refreshing Trailhead Ale.  A portion of all sales come back to CORP; there is no easier way to support your local trails!

    Rain postponed this event to Thursday, June 27 from 5:00-7:00. Come out and celebrate the longest day of the year and the official opening of the pump track at Middleton Bike Park! Food trucks, demonstrations, and of course trail and pump track riding. Thursday, June 27 from 5:00-7:00. More details here.

    This year’s Battle of Camrock race on Sunday, June 2nd went off surprisingly well considering all of the rain that came down on Saturday. That was unfortunate as we were hoping to show off all of the newly completed work at Outback and Mayors Playground during CORPfest. 780 racers turned out but if not for the rain it would have been closer to 900, along with a larger number of spectators.

    A BIG THANK YOU: to TREK for being a great partner, to all the fantastic volunteers that made the event happen, to Dane County Parks, and of course all of the racers that make this a great event! We’re already excited and looking forward to the Battle of CamRock 2025!

    The one mile beginner loop in New Glarus Woods State Park is now open! The new trail tread is a little soft and needs tires to further compact things. Come check it out if you're in the area! Thanks to the many volunteers and sponsors that have worked to make this first phase a reality. Sponsors include: New Glarus Brewing, Dirty Dog Taphaus, Schlecht Family Foundation, Colony Brands.
