Hello Trail Volunteers!

Tonight's trail work will be at Eastwood. We plan on meeting at 6pm near the ball field. For tonight we just need more general mowing & trimming, so if you have any favorite hedge trimmers, shears, loppers etc. feel free to bring them!

The forecast shows it will still be quite warm so please remember to bring water for yourself and dress accordingly!

Thanks, Post Bulletin!

Southeastern Minnesota is becoming a gravel biking hotspot. Scenic bluffs, quiet backroads and a welcoming community are drawing riders of all ages.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Northern Heights tonight to clean up the trail... especially the first-timers!

We had two mowers running, a w**d whacker, people replanting ferns, chopping branches and then ran the leaf blower for the cherry on top.... in other words it's PRISTINE!

Come and enjoy!

We made excellent progress today on the jump line at Gamehaven park off the paved upper parking lot! All the ramps are in place! This was a lot of work over this weekend and we couldn’t have done it without the help of the awesome volunteers who showed up! Thanks to Pathfinder Trail Building LLC for building these incredible ramps, they are smooth as butter!

The jump line is rideable but not technically complete, so ride at your own risk. We still have a lot of work to do including using our excavator to shape the landings more, fine tune the table top lengths, work on the berm, and complete the reroute of the uphill trail. The berm at the end is very soft and needs some love so please be careful on that. Also when riding the trail to the downhill, be cautious as currently the trail crosses the jump line. This will be rerouted shortly.

All the jumps are rollable and beginner friendly, we had someone hit them today who has never jumped before even!

Big upgrades occurring at Gamehaven Park! Today the RASC crew and some volunteers have started moving dirt and placing it for a beginner jump line! The line consists of three prefabricated steel and wood jumps going to dirt landings! These are off the upper paved parking lot at Gamehaven. Work continues today and tomorrow (5/3). We will keep everyone updated on the progress!
