Ashland Mountain Adventures Blog

We here at Ashland Mountain Adventures are very into trail maintenence, in more ways than one. Not only do we enjoy joining in the many mountain bike group trail work days that S.O.M.B.A., S.O.F.A and the 12 Mile Super D help put together, But we’ve been setting aside some funds from the shuttle to help with organizing some end of the season trail work days. After a long summer of many hours of use the trails develop braking bumps and ruts that will need to be smoothed out and filled in and the dirt accepts this best with a little moisture so we will be setting dates in late October and early November.

We would like to thank the many people that have already devoted endless hours to trail work this season. This community is the most supportive and selfless group of outdoor users I have ever had the pleasure of working along side. Many areas struggle to get people together for the good of the trails and here, bikers come out in droves to maintain their trails and accesss roads. We would like to see that they are fairly compensated or at least well fed and supported on there trail work days and thats why we’ve begun a trail work fund that could help provide the tools, food, beverage and transport to and from designated work location.

We will announce our trail work dates at the end of August to give everyone time to plan there time on the mountain. Enjoy the rest of your summer, winter will be here before you know it!
