Ride Log: Copper Harbor

Ride Log: Copper Harbor

Copper Harbor is one of those places that you must see – sweet trails and stunning views of Lake Superior and the Keweenaw Peninsula. It’s got some serious backcountry flavor.

Duluth, MN: Better Living Through Trails

Duluth, MN: Better Living Through Trails

Previously billed as Economic Development, Better Living through Trails is a new twist on an important subject. It speaks to the value of trails and how they can be used to make communities more livable. It’s a little philosophy, a lot of statistics, all in the context of singletrack. Standing in front of a packed house, we spoke to several different community leaders and stakeholders from congressional staffers to city officials. It was the perfect crowd for such a topic.

Chippewa Valley: Working Smarter

Chippewa Valley: Working Smarter

Working with CORBA (Chippewa Off-Road Bike Association), we spent the weekend building trails at Hickory Ridge, a large plot of public land with exciting potential. Located just a few hours south of Chequamegon, the folks in the Chippewa area aren’t content with putting their bikes on the car and driving north; they’re working hard to have their own notable trail system.

Cable, Wisconsin: CAMBA-Land

Cable, Wisconsin: CAMBA-Land

It’s week three in the Upper Midwest and we’ve decided that the trails up here are just as good as anything we’ve ridden throughout the country. Don’t be fooled folks – the mountain biking is well worth the drive.

Daily Dose: August 4, 2010

Had a chance to check out a really neat trail system that is being constructed somewhere in north central Minnesota. The project won’t officially open until next spring. We had the priviledge (and the pleasure) of scoping out some of the trails during the build process. Thanks to everyone who is making the project happen!

Viroqua, Wisconsin: It Takes Community

Viroqua, Wisconsin: It Takes Community

We can never emphasize the ‘community’ part enough when it comes to trail networks. And we always encourage the clubs we work with to look beyond the usual suspects. There is always a strong core of people in every area to make good trails, but it also takes the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker to make great trails.

Subaru/IMBA TCC Week 28

Subaru/IMBA TCC Week 28

After a month off, we headed back out east and landed in Vernon County, Wisconsin. It’s a beautiful area in the Upper Midwest – often referredto as the Driftless Region. It was a very mellow, yet very awesome week.
