Saturday February 13th is ON!!! Set your calendars and get shin guards.

Let's just do this. Intermediate-level technical skills clinic at Allamuchy on big rolly rocks that look a lot like gigantic pastries. I "Heart" Allamuchy...

Allamuchy has some very unique and interesting features that will allow us to focus on some very cool and fun skills. There are steep roll-ins and short approach "ups" on ultra-grippy rocks, tight techy corners and flowy fun lines where the emphasis is on pure balance and flow, not speed. The riding is phenomenal -- like a series of trials sections! Read more »

Come on out for a day of Lovin at Trexler Nature Preserve.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate and let us do some actual trail building, if it is too frozen or snow covered we will show some love to the Autumn Olive on the fireman's trail which still needs to be cleared.
