Trail Report as of 7/9/07

The storm that hit June 29th left lots of damage. As a way to let people know about the condition of the trails I am putting up this post with the hope that anyone with trail information can provide comments. I rode Lakeview, Reeder Bay/ Kalispell Bay (#365), Woodrat and Bulldog since the storm hit. As of today all those trails are cleared except for the occassional tree.

Thank you to one of the local riders out of Outlet Bay who cleared Woodrat today. Half the trail, on the Outlet side, was a disaster. Great work and many of us will benefit from his hardwork.

I spoke to someone who rode Lakeshore and Upper Priest last week and those trails are clear as well.

Chamber Auction

mtbpriestlake.com donated a guided mountain bike ride to the annual Priest Lake Chamber of Commerce Auction on Memorial Day Weekend. A family purchased it and chose the Coolin to Schweitzer ride. Look for us climbing the backside of Schweitzer the first week of July.

2007 Riding Season

With the help of Pecky Cox this site has seen more activity in the last few months than in the previous six. That is great news. As is usually the case the summers at Priest Lake come and go much too quick. In advance of this summer, I want to invite fellow riders to contribute more ride/ trail information. I'd like to get as many rides up on the site before the summer. I'd also like to try some new rides.

SISNA Farragut Wednesday Nite Races

The annual SISNA Twlight commenced on July 5. Sixty riders completed the 9 mile course. It was a great time with a post race party at Bayview. There are 3 more races on every Weds. nite in July. If any Priest Lakers want to carpool, e-mail info@mtbpriestlake.com
