Early Spring Trail Status Update - Please Read!

We've entered Slush/Mud season. Ride respectfully.

Many of our trails are open during winter, but only when the snow / dirt is frozen! This means in the mornings after a night with temps below about 28 degrees. Enjoy the snowy riding, just make sure you're not riding on muddy trails. We won't be updating trail status, so please use your own best judgement.

Please do not ride on closed trails. Use of the trails while closed or muddy will jeopardize our access.

Send any trail condition updates to:
brooke@fotwheel.org

Our new MEMBERS-ONLY maps and suggested rides for each trail network can now be accessed. We'll also be posting updates on our latest trail improvements in the forum to keep your rides fresh and exciting. Send in your annual donation (of at least $30) to gain access to this enhanced area. A sample of the new maps can be seen in the preview on the left. JOIN/RENEW TODAY!

 
Trail Name Description Status
An immensely popular network of 8 miles of singletrack where new mountain bikers can get a handle on the basics of mountain biking, while experts can come let it all hang out on loops that are fast, swoopy, and characterized by great flow. Look for the new trail, Om, on the left hand side of the road, just beyond the Thompson drive gate. Om links right into MoFlo and rolls nicely in both directions.
