Our Story

In 2010, a group of local mountain bikers and volunteers came together and began to coordinate trail work with the goal of planning, building, and maintaining new trails.

Our first project was working with the City of Coeur d'Alene on the Canfield Natural Area. Soon after, we formed a partnership with the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management so that we can continue to provide the best trail experiences to our community.
