Join us on the shortest day of the year as we ride into the night. We have a tentative roll-out location of the Cuyuna MTB Trails. We will keep you posted as weather conditions will dictate our actual start location.

GFBD Ugly edition is (12/7). Dusty and Squeaks are so excited to take you on an adventure! They have a mid-ride social stop planned with cocoa and treats. Be warned that these two intrepid adventurers like to judge people by their clothing, so don't forget to wear your ugliest sweater.
