We are very excited about the Boo Ride Weekend at John Bryan State Park Mountain Bike Trails on October 23-25. Something for everyone to volunteer or enjoy, or both!
*Trail improvements will be going on Friday - Sunday. Drive past the day lodge toward the Orton trailhead. Look for the MVMBA flag. We will be moving dirt, removing a boardwalk and replacing it with a more sustainable option.
*Trail decorating for the Boo Ride will take place on Saturday; noon to 4:00 and Sunday; 10:00 - 2:00. Always fun adorning the trails with scares! Meet at the gazebo.
*Trunk or Treat, sponsored by John Bryan State Park, is from 4:00- 6:00. If you plan to bring a Trunk, arrive by 3:30 and park by the gazebo. All of the friends groups will be there, including Orienteering, Rock Climbing and the Astronomical groups, with some surprise groups thrown in! Bring your kids for some Treats and learn more about what John Bryan has to offer.
*Night Ride! Meet at the Gazebo for a 6:30 start time. Lights are needed, recommended two, one helmet and one on bars. The Abracadabra trail will be decorated, with some fun scary night displays, so choose your ride adventure. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
*Sunday BOO RIDE: 2:00 start for the kid friendly group ride. All young children must be accompanied by an adult. We need leaders and sweepers to volunteer. We were able to add some fun new surprises this year thanks to a donation specific to amp up the fun! If you missed out on ordering your Boo Ride shirt, designed by local artist Pete Hrinko, the store will reopen to order that weekend. We will also have signed posters for a $10+ donation.
*Sunday Picnic, Potluck, and Chili Cook Off Social: 3:00-5:00!
Need we say more? Okay, we will. Prize for the best chili. MVMBA will provide hotdogs and brats. Potluck means bring something to share. It could be your famous potato salad, a bag of chips, sweets, or just your smile. Let's have fun!
*Always looking for help to takedown the decorations after 5:00. Many will stay up through Halloween, but some need to come down.
