Came for the community, stayed for the crust. 🍕🚲
Honestly, the only thing better than hitting the trails with a massive crew is the post-ride debrief over a fresh slice. Huge shout-out to everyone who came out to smash some laps and share some pies with us!
If you missed this one, don't worry—the weekly social calendar is stacked. Tag a friend who only shows up for the après! 👇

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who traded their handlebars for shovels at our Crawford Trail Day today! We had an incredible turnout and crossed some major projects off the list:

👥 The Squads: Two big crews hit the dirt, putting in heavy work to shape and clear Connector and Bullwinkle.

🪓 The Solo Mission: A huge shout-out to Bill, who went on a solo adventure to completely clear a fallen tree off Rocky Beech. Absolute legend!

Why are Trail Days so important?
The trails we love don't just maintain themselves. Events like today are how we fix erosion, clear winter deadfall, and keep our networks safe, sustainable, and running fast. It’s the ultimate way to build equity in the dirt you ride.

We also want to extend a huge thank you to FOSS (Friends of the South Slopes) for being incredible stewards of Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park. Our continued collaboration with them is what keeps these projects moving forward!

Now that the tools are packed away... it’s officially time to go for a ride. The dirt is fresh and prime.

Heads up, Knox riders! Major trail upgrades are officially underway in the BalsamrootBluff zone. Because heavy work is actively happening on the dirt, this specific area will be completely closed for the next 5 to 6 days to ensure everyone's safety.

​Please avoid this section of the hill while the trail crew does their thing. Here is what is being built:

The Climb Trail: We’re working on a brand-new reroute starting right from the caretaker cabin to make the ascent significantly smoother.

The North Slope (Blue Trail): The old blue route is being decommissioned. The crew is carving out a fresh reroute that moves the line over to a much more mellow, flowing slope to the east.

The Black Trail: The advanced line is getting a facelift with a much more defined layout and a heavily improved, safer merge/exit onto the multi-use trail.

​When riders ignore the closure tape, work has to stop completely, which delays the opening and puts our builders at risk. Please give the crew the space they need to finish it up.

​We appreciate your patience, and we can’t wait to open up these fresh lines on Balsamroot and the Bluff soon! 🙌 can’t
