We kicked off the POP season tonight with over 100 community members coming out to celebrate the season ahead. Matchwood's Andrea presented us with the proceeds from last year's community can fundraising campaign, which raised $2,500 to support the Tiny Wood Skills Park campaign! Huge thanks to @matchwoodbrewing for their continued support! Stoked to kick off our trail work projects tomorrow at 5:30 at the 2nd switchback trailhead in the Lower Basin!
TRAIL CLOSURE ANNOUNCEMENT:We know this is gonna hurt, but you know what they say, no pain no gain! LOWER BASIN BLUE FLOW trail is closed for the next 5 weeks or so. Our trail builder partners Integrated Trail Labs and DirtTek Trails are beginning work on two new trails below Switchback 4 today, and to keep the riding community safe and allow them to work as quickly as possible we need to close the existing trail.Good news is our XC climbing trail is open from switchback 2 to 4 for two-directional travel. Please stick to the XC trail for the next few weeks and when the 2.4 miles of new trail is open we’ll celebrate with a community Shred Fest!
The public comment period for Panhandle Bike Ranch's application for a conditional use permit to operate within Bonner County is open until Wednesday. Please leave your feedback so the County's planning and zoning commission knows where the community stands on the proposed trail facility. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdf9_rzWFso-dQNNY5XlmfVSZ3Ootl8u47gC0Mny-NY2reiHw/viewform?fbcli...
