The loyalty to the trails here in Ashland is deep and even stretch beyond it’s borders. What I’ve discovered since I’ve started riding, and  gettting riders to their rides, is people here care about their trails beyond what I’ve ever imagined. The local MTB community comes together in incredible numbers and conviction. Folks from other towns and even states are coming out to pitch in on the upkeep. The spring and fall bring an onslot of riders that come out in such numbers that 15 to 20 tools is just not enough! A hundred man hours accomplished in a single day, thats 20 plus people working more than 5 hours. On the day, this community of riders say’s “today we fix our trails.”

   AMA hosted a trail day this last Saturday and had 16 people brave the bad weather. Snow and rain and winds that had everyone wondering if they would be in the wrong place at the wrong time! They came from the  towns of Medford and Shasta as well as Ashland.  Not stoping untill the job was done.

 Wes at Cascade Mountian Adventures drew a good sized group on Sunday and sorted out some crucial water bars in the meadow of Time Warp which as recently recomissioned by the U.S.F.S. as a legal trail. Thanks Wes and S.O.F.A. for there continued efforts to maintain the trails we love to shred!

 Don’t miss your opportunity to come out and spend some quality time on these awesome trails here in Ashland as the vibe here will overtake your soul and get your MTBking jones fixed till the next time!

  Thanks to all those that pitched in,
