Riders of Moose Mountain!
Come one come all to Moose Mountain for a weekend dedicated to bikes, epic trails and awesome times. The Moose Mountain Bike Trail Society(MMBTS) will be playing host to a Riding party and Trail day for the weekend of June 13 - 14th. Bring your bike, bring your friends, bring your family, and bring your need for endless 2 wheeled fun to the 2km locale(on Moose mountain road)at noon on Saturday June 13th!
Seize your day and kickoff the riding season with MMBTS by joining in and celebrating our stoke and sense of community out at Moose mountain.
For the XC/All mountain citizenry - a group ride will commence shortly after noon headed up by the visionary of Pneuma, including a casual but epic tour de moose! It's all downhill for the freeride faction with laps a plenty and record breaking flow scales for all. A big thanks to Ridley's cycle for sponsoring and catering the post ride BBQ with burgers set to begin flipping around 4:30 ish. Feel free to stick around for the evening, enjoy a beverage and chill with like minded yokels or continue riding with your new found riding buddies.
MMBTS will be selling memberships and T-shirts at the BBQ. There are talks of a potential campout in the Mclean Creek area but we are still waiting on details regarding logistics for this. If your down for an overnighter, show up prepped up, and we should have more info about camping on the Saturday.
The premier and foremost event of the weekend is the trail day for Sunday. Resolve to evolve our trails with MMBTS and come on out to Ing's mine parking lot for 11 am on Sunday June 14th. We had 80 volunteers at the May 9th trail day and we are challenging all you riders to help us get this number up to 100 for this trail day. "A little less talk and a lot more action" is what our trails need.
With a sense of community comes a sense of ownership of our trails and it is in this realm that MMBTS wants to shine. We can't shine without you! Many trails are on the hit list - but we are prioritizing Pneuma and the trails that were still snow covered(JG and ROS) on the May 9th buff fest! So, make a difference in the trails you ride, help bring that shine, and come on out for 11am @ Ing's mine p-lot and a gameday plan of attack will be in place. Bring whatever tools you have!
We plan to grow the flow until 4ish and then celebrate the day back at the 2km locale with a bbq catered by the fine folks at Calgary Cycle.
MMBTS was formed by a bunch of riders/builders pickin' up a storm, hammering hard, pounding laps and talkin' trails. So you can be sure despite all the meetings and business stuff we would rather be shredding or building than pushing paper and being all PC.
So giddyup and team up with MMBTS and help harmonize all the efforts and work into our trails where they belong.
Come on out and get involved!
