🔨 Summer Trail Building Is Underway!
We’re hitting the dirt this summer with big plans and even bigger community energy. Our trail crew—supported by local volunteers, youth leaders, and agency partners—is rolling out improvements, expansions, and brand-new lines across the Lower Basin and beyond.
Here’s what’s on deck:
🚧 Ziggy (Climbing Trail) – Final machine work is wrapping up and hand-finishing has begun. This connector is key to our growing loop system in the Schweitzer Basin.
🌟 Stardust – We're actively building new tread to connect the top features. Corridor clearing is complete, alignment is confirmed, and shaping is happening now.
🧭 Intergalactic – Hand-built black tech is in progress. If you want to sweat, sculpt, and shred—this is the one.
🌲 Trail Maintenance – Crews and volunteers are also working across the region to brush, drain, and keep existing trails dialed and rideable all season long.
🛠️ Want to help? Join us Thursday evenings for trail work parties, or volunteer at special events like Basin Dig Day on June 7. You’ll earn some dirt under your nails, a limited-edition POP trail crew shirt, and major trail karma.
Let’s make this our most connected, creative, and community-driven trail season yet.

5-year Strategic Plan
Over the winter the POP board of director and executive director convened to develop a 5-year strategic plan for the organization. The purpose of the plan is to lay out the club's goals and objectives and strategies for achieving them, while also exploring the risks, means of assessment, and succession plan so the organization can remain strong in the face of foreseen and unforeseen challenges.
Have a look at our strategic plan here.
2025 Youth Programs
Registration for all of POP's 2025 youth programs will open on April 1st. This year, we will be offering two 3 week Spring clinics to get ready for a summer full of riding. We'll have 4 weeks of summer camps this year. Parents will have a Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday option to choose from.
Stay tuned for more information about out summer camps as we are hoping to increase our offerings this summer.
More information about our youth programs is available here.
Who we are
Pend Oreille Pedalers was established in 2004 as a bicycle club and in 2008 incorporated as a non-profit 501c3. Our vision is to build an interconnected system of bike trails for riders of varying ability levels for the benefit of Sandpoint and surrounding areas.
Mission
- Maintain & Protect existing mountain bike trails & cycling routes
- Expand opportunities for mountain biking & cycling
- Advocate for the interests of mountain bikers with land managers
- Build & Ride trails with others who share a passion for riding bikes
How you can help
Our ability to fulfill our mission and work towards our vision depends on community support. There are many ways you can help:
- Join or donate: Building and maintaining great trails costs money. Your annually renewed membership and one time donations are essential to our success.
- Volunteer: We have a staff of one part-time director, which means nearly all our labor is volunteer. Trail maintenance takes place year round, on dirt and snow. Check out our calendar for upcoming volunteer opportunities.
- Get involved: We depend on a volunteer board of directors and active club members, with monthly club meetings from March through November, and weekly group rides from spring through fall.
- Sponsor: If you're a local business who sees value in trails and recreation, consider becoming a corporate member. More information coming soon.
Road Ride Routes and Calendar
The road riding scene is alive and well in Sandpoint! There's a new ad hoc group of road cyclists that is using Heylo to coordinate and communicate about ride. All are invited to join!
We've recently added a Road and Gravel Routes page to our website. Check it out, and let us know if you have routes you think we should add to the page!
Have you heard about the Idaho Panhandle Gravel Series (IPGS)? Syringa Cyclery is organizing three gravel events this year, with POP as a beneficiary of all three. More information at Syringa Cyclery's website under "Idaho Panhandle Gravel Series."
