Thanks to Bill, Kyle, Mike, Tracy, and Tom for coming out tonight and getting the Glenwood trail cleaned up and smoothed out. It is still very damp in places so it will be a little bit before it is ready. You can be heros like them if you come to trail work next week.

04/26/2023

In the name of reducing redundancy we are going to ask you politely and respectfully to follow our other page. You will find that because it has many more followers there is just more going on.

Moving forward we will not be updating this page. There may be a time in the future when we reverse that thought train but that is the plan for now.

Thank you for being friends of Theo.

Still closed, but we’re getting closer. We will update as sections are able to be opened.

In the last week we have walked pretty much every foot of the trail. There are many trees down and lots of dumb little stuff sagging over the trail due to the several heavy snows we had towards the end of what seemed like a never ending winter.

We will open sections a time as soon as it makes sense to do so. Stay tuned.

Click the link for a little lite reading while we wait for the trails to dry and Theo dirt season to start. We have no estimate as to when that will be at this time.

Theo trail work season will start soon though. You won’t have to risk life and limb, but you will still be a hero to us if you answer the call when it goes out. Many hands make light work.

Wednesdays. 5:00 pm till dark. Meeting place will be published here a few days before each session. If you can’t make 5:00 you can always find us on the trail.

The Pulaski is not an elegant object—half axe, half mattock—it chops and cleaves, it excavates and grubs. It is, above all, a workhorse, just like the man who created it. You may have never hefted one, but odds are you've ridden or hiked a trail that was shaped by a Pulaski or walked beneath tre...

We are officially CLOSED for the Spring freeze/thaw. All gates are closed and lock.

This closure applies to EVERYONE. No wheels or feet.

We will update when dirt season is here but there is little chance it will be before sometime in May. The storm last weekend was not our friend.

P.S. The Loppet has started the process of clearing the human made snow off of the Luce Line though the North Loop. TRPD needs to come out and finish it.

Steve for dirt season.

We hope you had the opportunity to get your Theo on this winter.

Please stay off all sections. The closure for freeze/thaw is here.

We will update conditions when dirt season is here.

Expect that to be May(ish) if all our finger crossing does its things.
