Another great MTB / Recreation back country.
For those who have never been. Get down there and explore!

Don’t forget about the Red Bird Crest MTB race this fall!

With 70mi of marked trail there’s tons of exploring to be done. If you’re planning on coming down to ride let us know. We will recommend some trail loops.

Middle Ridge is now a gated community! I’m doing a course recon Saturday to see what it’s like. Looks like they have put some gravel down. Not sure how far. The gate will be open for the Race. You can still ride it. A road in the force service is gated it is still usable by non-motorized vehicles.

Y’all. Spread the word. Let’s get volunteers together once they outline the trail system!

Exciting things happening for the Lily Mountain Nature Preserve. We were notified this morning that our application to the management of the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund Board for Mountain Bike Trails has been approved!!! Now, this will NOT happen on the hiking trails that comprise the main body of the property; however, it will be situated off the Crooked Creek side of the LMNP that was formerly about 150 acres of heavy agriculture usage in the past. So, if you know anyone that would like to start a local Mountain Bike club or even a team/club at the high school, please let us know!

(We will be strictly adhering to IMBA standards, and NO motorized vehicles will be allowed on the trails, NO DIRT BIKES or ATVs of any kind. If you want to ride those, go to Hollerwood!)
