Heads up Gnomies. The weather is flipping. Starting Saturday, 10/10, expect a little rain (around a third of an inch) followed by snow that could stack up to 8" in the Bridgers over the next few days.

Season’s not over for Crosscut's singletrack, but it needs a break. Please keep the bike in the garage while the storm moves through, and give the dirt some time to drain and firm back up once it passes. Tacky, saturated trails can look fine on the surface and still get chewed up fast. Ruts and tread damage from riding them now are the kind of thing we’ll be fixing next spring. We want to avoid this as much as possible, and keep our beloved trails running great!

Crosscut will post on Trailforks and on their website when the trails are good to go, so that’s the place to check before you head out. We will also get an announcement out on our socials. And if you were hoping for groomed winter trails, October snow won’t be turning into those, so no grooming is planned.

Thanks for looking after the trails with us. Patience now means better riding later.

Tonight! Last group ride of the year :(((((

This will be a casual cruise starting at Peets Hill lot, climb up to the knolls at Hillcrest Park, cut over to Highland, then loop back by the hospital and finish where we started.

Golden hour, fresh dirt, and good people. Bring lights, layers, and a friend.

All abilities welcome. Come close out the year with us, and we'll see you out there.

Last trail work of the season :((((

Lets send it off right.

Join us at Leverich tomorrow, Monday 9/28, from 6-8pm. We'll be working on some of the berms on the trail, and there will be parking lot beverages afterward. Bring warm clothes, it's getting chilly out there.

Trail closures coming up 🚨

Two Crosscut events this fall mean some trail access changes. Here's what to know:

Sunday, Sept 27: The Timberline Trail Run
Put on by Crosscut in partnership with the MSU Bobcat Nordic Ski Team. All summer trails closed 8am–2pm. Closure info's been live on Trailforks for a couple weeks, and signage goes up at the trail entrance and kiosk next week.

Saturday, Oct 3: The Crosscut Shootout
A biathlon event with mountain biking, running, and sharpshooting. Courses cross Big Thigh Country and Gnomadic, but only Golden Rule will be closed. Everything else stays open.

Plan your rides and runs around these, and give racers room out there.

We need some equipment help. 🚜

There's a big pile of dirt sitting in the NE corner of the park that we need to move, and it's more than shovels and wheelbarrows can handle. If you (or someone you know) has a skid steer or a small front-end loader, would you be willing to lend it out for a couple days?

We've got an experienced operator from SWMMBA ready to run the machine. But if you'd rather hop on and operate it yourself, that's totally fine too.

This is exactly the kind of thing that only gets done because people in this community show up for each other. If you can help, send us a message.🙏🙏🙏
