Mountain Bike Trail Report

Trails are open. Trails are rolling great and some of the best riding of the season is now! Warm weather returning with dry conditions. Great night for the Wolves practice Tuesday evening.

Last week we cleared on the entire LagChilada course and blew out the entire course. Leaves are starting to fall constantly but overall great Fall riding. The leaves are a week or so behind on the fall color and should be some nice scenes for another month or so. 

Nice job to the riders that completed a double LagChilada the past few weeks and always good seeing new riders out! 

We will continue clearing out segments of trail as needed with the leaf blowers as more leaves start to fall to the forest floor. Tuesday clearing on the Twin Lakes bridge section and the first half of Twin Lakes (singletrack segment)

Couldn’t ask for better weather for year 34 of the Laddies Loppet mountain bike race weekend. Thanks everyone who came for race # 9 in the Minnesota Mountain Bike Series and thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers, and support folks that made it a great day! We are already looking forward to next year for Laddies Loppet 2025 over Labor Day weekend!  

Great week hosting the local HS MTB Team “Wolves” training camp earlier this summer. Fun energy and nice job to kids and coaches! Contact us if you are interested in bringing your team for training camp summer 2025. [email protected]

Trail pass to help offset operating and maintenance expenses. We are a self funded/maintained trail system and happy to share our hand built classic old style singletrack trails! Thank you, always great seeing folks out and we appreciate the support!

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!
