Round of applause for everyone who came out today! Y'all really knocked it out of the park. 12 Ton Bridge, the Suspension Bridge, and a few others are completely dismantled and the decking has been taken off of the Cradle.

Next Saturday we'll get everything else at our Final Move-Out Work Day!

Portraits from Vultures K**b, a 50 year old private trail on land once used as a landfill. Made in its final season before logging begins.

Vultures K**b is now closed.

Thank you all for an amazing last season. Thank you for continuing to show up, for showing this place how much it has been loved, and for continuing to support us. This community is incredible, and even though Vultures K**b was integral to building it, the community still stands even when the K**b is no more.

I can't even begin to explain how much the K**b has meant to me personally. It changed the trajectory of my life in the best ways, and for that I am so grateful. I have had the privilege of leading the FoVK board for the last few years, and it's been an honor to lead the K**b through it's final season. As much as losing it sucks, it has been so heartwarming to speak with so many of you who have loved the K**b as much as I do. I have loved hearing your stories, seeing how many of you have traveled to come get one last lap in, and hearing how you have been involved over the last three decades. Vultures K**b would not have existed without every one of you who put in time, blood, sweat, tears, money, and support. If you rode here, raced here, volunteered here, camped here, cried here, cussed here... However you have played a part, thank you.

Friends of Vultures K**b will be keeping our name as a nonprofit, to honor and preserve the legacy of the place that has meant so much to the Ohio mountain biking community. We'll share where our new home is as soon as we're allowed. A name is yet to be determined for the new trail, but we'll keep sharing updates here so you can follow our trail building process. It won't be the K**b, but we can promise we'll be putting our heart and souls into it just as we have here at the K**b.

In the meantime, keep showing up as a community. Support your local trails. Support Cleveland Area Mountain Bike Association. Race with Northern Ohio Mountain Bike Series or OMBC or whoever runs races in your area. Join a group ride. Support your local bike shops. Donate. Volunteer. Ride. Trails can't exist without their community of riders, and you all are one of the best.

Thank you again. Farewell for now, until we can welcome you to ride again.

(Don't forget about our Move-Out Work Day - Structures on Saturday though!)
