**[🚨 TRAIL WORK ALERT & EXCITING NEWS! 🚨]**
Big things are happening on the trails! We are thrilled to announce that we are officially working to make the **Route 10-Lower Hardwoods loop** fully passable for adaptive mountain bikes (aMTB)! 🚵‍♂️♿️
Our goal is to create a more inclusive, accessible network, and we’ve got some major upgrades lined up to make it happen:

* **5 Bridge Upgrades:**

Thanks to a generous grant from the **Kelly Brush Foundation** , we are widening five bridges to a spacious 42 inches to safely accommodate adaptive bikes.

* **Smoothing the Ride:**

We’ll be tackling various spot improvements along the loop to eliminate tricky choke points and reduce tipping hazards.

* **More Fun for Everyone:**

Widening these bridges and clearing out the bottlenecks doesn't just open the trail to adaptive riders; it makes the flow smoother and more fun for *every single person* who rides it! 🌲✨

**🙌 HUGE SHOUTOUT TO OUR VOLUNTEERS! 🙌**

We’ve already kicked off the hard work, and we had some incredible help recently! A massive thank you to the awesome students from **Hartford Middle School** who came out to get their hands dirty, move some dirt, and help us make these trail improvements a reality. You rock! 🛠️💪
A big thank you again to the Kelly Brush Foundation and our community rockstars for helping us break down barriers and get more wheels on the dirt.
Stay tuned to our calendar for future trail work days—we’re going to need more hands to finish this vision! 🔨🪵

Huge shoutout to everyone who crushed it at our **Spring Work Day!** 🛠️☀️
We had an incredible turnout, and the progress is real. Because of your sweat equity, we checked some massive projects off the list:
* ✨ **Witchcraft is prepped & OFFICIALLY OPEN!** Go get those laps in.
* 🚵 **Hardwoods** got some love with two brand-new berms.
* 🪨 **Canyon** is looking solid thanks to some heavy-duty rock armoring.
* 🪵 The Lot is looking much cleaner after a literal ton of wood was hauled out from old bridges.

Our trails wouldn't be what they are without this community. Thanks for showing up, digging deep, and keeping the stoke high.
See you out there! 🌲🚲

Happy opening day, folks! The last gate is officially open, so it's time to shred.

Thanks to folks who have been reaching out about use from the DH side. We put up a sign today. Fingers crossed - but I think we are super close to opening. Please stay off the trails so they can dry out some. There are still some really muddy spots that are already rutted.

Also - don't forget about our work day on the 26th at 9am. Nature walk entrance. Come help us prep for the summer season! Sign up on the calendar invite @ UVMBA.org/calendar
