Join us on National Trails Day to complete work on the new trail at Mud Pond. The FOTW Trail Crew has been working full-time with assistance from a number of great volunteers on this trail.

This trail includes significant sections that were partially-machine built, a first in the history of FOTW!

Come out and lend a hand in the creation of a highly-sustainable all-weather, all-ability trail.

After work is finished for the morning, grab your bike and head out for a ride. We will follow up with beer from Long Trail and some snacks.

Bring hiking boots, work gloves, and water. FOTW will provide all tools and a plan for the day. All experience levels are encouraged - kids, families, students, and adults will have an important role in the completion of this trail.

Join us and celebrate our local public trails!

Women's Night at Skirack (04 Jun 2013)

Tue, 04 Jun 2013 22:30:00 GMT

Ski Rack, Mountain Moxie, and Fellowship of the Wheel would like to invite you to participate in a fun and educational evening at Ski Rack on Tuesday, June 4th at 6:30pm to support women riders in our community.

We are all fortunate enough live in a beautiful area with great access to all kinds of bike riding opportunities and would like you to help us show women of all riding levels just how easy and close it is to get out there and play.

The expert staff at Ski Rack will be on hand to talk to women about every aspect of road and mountain bike riding. We will have refreshments provided by Sugarsnap, special discounts for that evening and giveaways.

The evening is all about making friends, and learning about the great opportunities there are to get out on a bike with others who want to do the same. We will begin with mingling and snacks from 6:30 to 7pm. From there the ladies of Mountain Moxie will give a short introduction of all the groups in attendance and who are the best people to speak to for more information. From 7:15 to 8pm we will open the floor to shopping, information gathering and people meeting new people.

We will provide your organization with a small table space to display brochures, business cards, and coupons (if you wish to provide something like this). We encourage you to mingle around the store, introduce yourselves and make some new friends.

There will also be a free raffle with great prizes provided by Ski Rack and other vendors. If there is something your organization would like to include in the raffle it’s a great way to generate excitement for the amazing services you provide.
