A cool and fresh start to the week. End of July and forecast has windchill factor!! Definitely has felt like September a lot of the days the past few weeks which gets us excited for Fall and Winter!! The trails are in excellent shape and set up nicely for the winter. Frequent moisture keeping the woods green and lush. The trails are open for running, hiking and biking. They are closed to horses and motorized use.

The heavy rain stayed south of us yesterday and early morning showers leaving a few tenths of rain in the gauges. Mowing on the ski trails and brushing on on existing mountain bike singletrack the main trail work this week. Deer flies coming out but not bad if you keep moving. The trails are in great shape for this time of year and looking good for the winter.

Fantastic weather to end the month of June as we begin the first day of July. Deep blue skies, gentle breeze from the northwest and temps in the upper 60’s lower 70’s. Has been nice to be in the woods for trail work and biking. We have been mowing on the trails, cutting brush and clearing deadfall from recent winds. Always plenty of work to do to keep the trails in tip top shape and best condition possible for the winter months and non winter activities.

Cool weather with a little drizzle to start the week after a mix of thunderstorms and pleasant weather on the weekend. Mowing on the trails this past week will continue this week. Riding on the bike course has been good. The water tables remain very high with near record precipitation the past year including almost 6″ of rain the past 10 days. Mosquitoes are out but not the deer flies and if you keep moving in the woods, they aren’t too bad. Cool weather this week should slow down the bugs and keep the deer flies away for another week or so.
Should be a nice week of riding on tap with cooler and dry conditions. The course has been nice for riding despite all the rain the past few weeks but there are still a few wet spots here and there. There are two trees down on the course but not at the bottom of any downhill. We will remove the trees and any deadfall on Monday.
More mosquitoes coming out but if you keep moving, not much of a problem. There are no deer flies yet and typically we do not see deer flies until middle of July but depends on the weather. Cool weather has kept bug action at a minimum and with cooler weather forecasted this week, the deer flies will remain dormant. The underbrush is thicker but the sight lines still good. We have been working on the new singletrack and making progress.
The course is open daily for riding and most of the intersections are marked with the key intersections marked. A few wet spots because of high water. There is no charge to use the trails. The trail starts behind the Great Northern building and follow the maintained trail and white signs with black arrows. Click here for a map/gps profile of the Sport/Comp/Expert loop.
The new mountain bike singletrack trail is open for riding. Head to Twin Lakes and look for the mountain bike trail sign. Ride the trail to the end and ride back!! We encourage riders to check out the trail and help us pack it down.
