Mountain Bike Trail Report

Trails are open. Great riding conditions, dirt surface about as good as it gets. This week we are back on trail tuning and clearing out trail with the leaf blowers. Bullhead Bootleg loop cleared on Monday and much of the inner segments on Tuesday. We are working mostly on the race course now for the Laddies Loppet mountain bike weekend over Labor Day weekend.  Signs of fall with leaves slowly changing…one of the best times of year to ride the next 6-8 weeks!

Great week hosting the local HS MTB Team “Wolves” training camp earlier this month. Fun energy and nice job to kids and coaches! 

We continue with trail tuning through the summer, brushing out overgrown areas and dirt work to improve drainage, berms and corners and blowing out the trail. The entire 25 mile course has been blown out multiple times this year and we continue touching up areas as needed, mostly focusing on Bullhead Bootleg and the Laddies Loppet MNMBS race loops. Once again we will be hosting the Laddies Loppet for year 34!! 

Nice job to all the riders that completed the LagChilada challengethis year! The opportunity to complete the challenge is available every day the trails are open during the dirt season.

We always try to clear any new deadfall right away but limbs, branches etc. can fall down at any time.  If you encounter any trail issues, please text Jay at 218-849-7669 or if any other trail questions.   

Reference our map, Trailforks or Strava to help with navigating. LagChilada challenge signs are also in place. Click for more information on the LagChilada challenge. Nice job to all the riders that have completed it so far this year! 

Parking across from Brant cabin. The Brant cabin is also available for a changing area and bathrooms and there are also maps located in the Brant.
