We’ve been cooking up something new and special at DTE for this year's Triple Trail Challenge! 🚲🔥
Want an early look? You can get a sneak peek preview of what we've been working on at the Downcountry Enduro at DTE this weekend!
If you’ve been loving the recent additions and trail upgrades across DTE and Poto, one of the best ways to support the work we do and give back to the chapter is by signing up for TTC. The Triple Trail Challenge is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and every registration directly powers future trail maintenance, features, and improvements.
Come check out the new build this weekend, get registered for TTC, and help us keep these trails running!
