We are currently planning our annual Landowner’s Dinner.  Without our landowner’s, we certainly wouldn’t have the miles of wonderful VT riding that we do.  Please take a minute to look at this link and think about how lucky we are to have what we do.  We’ll have a raffle as well as a great dinner.

Warm weather and rain have taken a toll on the valley trails and other sections as well. We are officially closing those trails in the valley. The only good riding at this point would be in the upper elevation in the National forest section of trails (Michigan area) but even getting there by trailer is tough given the road conditions right now.

It’s been a great season! Still more to do though as all the stakes that are up will need to come down. If you can help, please reach out and we’ll find something for you to do!

And don’t forget the landowner dinner! Plus there’s still time to put in nominations for awards with VAST. April 1st is the deadline.
