Spring is finally here! 
 






Mitchell Memorial Forest trail day: 
April 23rd!


Meet at the mountain bike trailhead @ 8AM

There will be a trail day Saturday, April 23rd @ 8AM until around 1PM. If it is raining on Saturday morning, we will post on the OMBA message board and Facebook page by 7AM that the work day is cancelled. If you will be attending, please let us know if possible so we can plan accordingly. If you can't arrive until later, that is fine as well. Follow the pink ribbons and orange pin flags that go south starting on the double track dirt section where the trail becomes part of the paved park road. Impromptu trail days will occur more frequently, so stay tuned to the OMBA message board and the MMF Facebook page. We would like to get well past our goal on our official trail day at the end of the month. Starting in March, the work will become much slower as we move down the hill to the steep and rocky hillsides.

East Fork Expansion - Trail Day April 30th




Yes it's true you are not dreaming we will have more trail to ride this season @ East Fork somewhere between 2 1/2 to 3 miles of trail and this will also add some needed elevation. Best part is that half of the trail is already built. All we need to do is connect to the Lake trail loop the existing trail, and we will also use part of the existing Backpack trail to connect it all up. 

So come on out and be a part of East Fork history and help up build some sweet new trail to ride this summer. Once we get done we are going to have a big picnic and ride @ the new trailhead area down by the overlook (right now the road is closed to cars but will remain open to foot and bike traffic also the park will open it up for trail days nothing like having 1 mile of open road with no Cars)

TRAIL DAY IS SATURDAY APRIL 30th AT 8am TILL NOON. TOOLS WILL BE PROVIDED.


Last big trail day push will be May 7th!
