Theodore Wirth Singletrack - MOCA / MORC Trails

06/22/2026

There are no known fatalities as yet, but we can hear the brambles giggling. This, obviously, cannot stand.

Meet a little before 5pm on Wednesday, June 24 at the top of the Brownie hill above the canoe racks to battle thorny, viney evil with us! If you can't make it at five, totally cool! Please be sure to sign both the 2026 waiver if this is your first 2026 session and the sign in sheet for the day before grabbing a tool.

BYO favorite hand tools are welcome, but we can only use people powered things which we have if you don't have a favorite hacking device. We strongly recommend sturdy shoes/work boots, gloves, water, bug spray and long pants. Eye protection wouldn't be a bad idea as well - green things will be flying if you're doing it right.

Join us in hitting bad things until they capitulate!

Weekend Update: Open

Most of the rain Friday was light, heavy stuff passed to the North.

Please let us know on Trailbot (ideally with picture and location) of any new big branches or trees that came down

Mother Nature says "nope" to trailwork this week. While we don't agree with the timing, she's totally right.

Next week or whenever we get a good projected Wednesday, we'll ask for a big event push to get folx out on the trail trimming. Rain thwarts trailwork, but is all about the brambles.

Please keep an eye out here and PLEASE RSVP for the upcoming trimming events. We have a finite supply of trimming tools and can buy/beg/borrow more if we know folx are heading out, but we can only do that if we know folx are heading out.

Singletrack looks like a bust for a while, but we hope you get out to grab whatever slice of outside is dry and available.

This is your Friday public service announcement. Yay! Friday!!!

Conditions as posted on stand. Still closed due to wet/muddy conditions.

There is a new restaurant in the Trail Head and it is dang amazing. I refuse to admit how Monday times I’ve been there to grab a sandwich or a pretzel. Just sayin….😎

Sandwich’s, salads, pretzels, coffee, beer, etc. It’s local…and it is tasty. Oh…and a super friendly staff.

Please support them as you are able before or after your ride…or just swing by to grab some tasty vittles on your way out of town to visit family.

Aki’s has the most amazingest pretzels in the Metro and now you can get them at the Trail Head.

Get some!

Some familiar faces came out to trailwork on Wednesday to give the landing zone below ThunderChicken ! a bit of spring sprucing up. We realigned the rocks and gave them a fresh cover of dirt. The dirt will eventually move off/erode back to bare rock, but for now the rocks are in stealth mode.

Thanks to everyone who came out!

Theodore Wirth: MOCA/MORC Trails - OPEN (TACKY): We had a short but grumpy bit of rain last night. Please give it a few hours to soak in before heading out. Truth be told, we need the rain. It’s getting dusty in places.

We also had yet another tree come down in the North Loop / Back 40. It not far after the monster that is down over the QBP boardwalk. Both are larger than we can manage with our cave person tools. MPRB Forestry has been informed and will resolve as quickly as they can with their vroom vroom tools.

The coming week looks like a possibility of rain pretty much every day. Get some today and Saturday before all that wetness from the sky gives us the sads.
