Get out and Ride your Bike or go for a hike!!

Mountain biking trails are in great shape. The Mountain Trails Foundation just launched this very cool interactive biking map. Pick a trail and get out and ride. http://maps.mountainland.org/maps/dynamic/mtf/

The upper elevation trails are drying out quickly (as long as the occasional afternoon thunderstorm isn’t rolling through) and everything below 8000 feet is in good shape. The MTF crew has removed all of the deadfall on Empire Link. Crescent Mine Grade is in good shape up to Mid-Mountain. The Basin Crew has been busy on Mid Mountain it’s clear from Empire Link to Powerline. Spiro is also in good shape. Check out MountainTrails.org for up the minute trail reports.
