Work is underway for the jump lines at Lavoie Bike Park. Max was building well past sunset.

The jumps are cool to check out but PLEASE stay clear of machines- operators may not see you. We'll keep you posted on progress.

A crew of Scouts volunteered their time on Saturday at the Gorham Conservation Commission Tannery Preserve. Decking replaced on 2 bridges and they replaced a rotting boardwalk w/ rock armor.

Big thanks for making the trails better!

Heads up- there's a XC running race at Narragansett school in Gorham on Sat 9/12 from 8-2. The connector trail to Hamblen; from Tannery trail head to Libby Ave will be closed during the race.

A good alternative is to access the trails from the North entrance. Park at the Little Falls Activity Center.

Exciting project is kicking off at the bike park in Gorham! We're rebuilding, improving, and expanding the jump lines. We're hiring a Pro builder; Max Southam w/ Mount Abram will take the wheel and help bring Lavoie Bike Park to world class status.

We owe a huge thanks to all the GPNEMBA volunteers that have put time and energy into the jumps, and we're grateful to have that ongoing support.

Work started today- the jumps are closed until further notice. We're targeting an early Oct open date.

Tonight (Monday 8/17)! Our August womens' ride is designed for women-identifying riders who bike singletrack trails regularly and are comfortable with moderate climbs, descents and some technical features like roots and rocks. Expect 5-7 miles at a moderate pace. Whether you're a newer or an experienced rider, there's something for everyone at this ride. Connect with fellow riders and explore the trails.

Join us on Blackstrap Trails for a fun and empowering women's mountain bike ride with GPNEMBA.
