One more time!

It looks like great weather for riding this Sunday, Nov 15. Come out to Carver Park for one more ride before old man winter sets in. Meet at 3pm, and don't forget your helmet and water!

Carver Sunday - CLOSED

Bummer dudes and dudettes; trails are still chained up - even though several riders are out riding anyway. Guess we have to call it off for Carver. Get out and ride elsewhere on your own!
