Although we have some major rain scheduled for this week again, a couple of board members took the day off riding to go deal with some major erosion that was forcing riders to go off trail to get around and in some cases was just plain dangerous.

Ready to help give some love back to our trails? Saturday October 3rd 7am we will be meeting at Chuck Heinrich and hiking or riding up to the start of Mundy's Gap to work on some erosion there. The state park will be using their UTV to haul tools up for us. More details coming soon, but plan on being there, we have a lot of work to do on the trails after this much needed rain.

Trail Update:
We’ve had a lot of welcome rain over the past week, with more in the forecast—and our trails are showing it! We recently rode Down Under, Lost and Found, Hit Itt, and Mad Cow. The work we’ve completed has held up well, but many areas still need attention, and the rain has caused significant damage in other places.

If you’re heading out, please use extra caution. Ruts can grab your tires and lead to a crash or injury. And if a section isn’t rideable, please walk through it rather than creating a side trail. New shortcuts quickly turn into a tangled network of “spaghetti trails” that are even more difficult to repair.

Our next official trail day is planned for next weekend. We had hoped to work this weekend, but coordination with the park and equipment needed on Mundy’s Gap required us to postpone. In the meantime, BMBA volunteers will be out doing what we can when we can.

If you see someone working on the trails with a shovel or tools, give them a wave, say thanks, or lend a hand if you’re able. Every bit of help makes a difference! A few of us are headed out to Down Under on Saturday morning to do what we can with those ruts.

With the whole community working together, we’ll get these trails back in shape and keep them great for hiking, biking, and running. Thanks for supporting BMBA and taking care of our trails!

Watch our social media for all the upcoming work days, starting with Mundy's gap on the NE next weekend.

Thank you,

While we’re grateful for the recent rain and enjoying the beautiful mountain views, we recognize the damage the storms have caused to our trails.

BMBA is working closely with the State Park to assess trail conditions and coordinate a plan for repairs and restoration.

This is where our community comes in!

We’ll be organizing regular trail maintenance days, and we need your help.

📅 NEXT TRAIL MAINTENANCE DAY
📍 Mundys Gap
🗓 Saturday, October 3
More details coming soon!
