The New Singletrack Climbing Trail Is Coming Soon. Be Part Of It!

You know that feeling when you're on a great trail, surrounded by nature, fully immersed in the ride? We’re about to make that experience even better. In partnership with the American River Conservancy (ARC), we’re excited to announce a new singletrack climb trail that will connect to the Chaparral Ridge downhill, completed last year, thanks to your amazing support!

This new trail will offer a fun, rider-friendly alternative to the fire road, enhancing the flow of your ride and giving you more options to explore. 

We’ve already been out there, flagging the route and taking the first steps toward building this trail. It’s a process that involves careful planning—things like the right trail grade and soil conditions, and making sure it’s all sustainable for the long haul. These behind-the-scenes details take time and thought before we can start digging, but they’re crucial to ensuring the trail is something we can all enjoy for years to come.

And that’s where you come in! Through our community drive, Dollars To Dirt, we’re raising the funds needed to make this trail happen. Every bit of support helps us get closer to breaking ground, and it all goes toward expanding trail access and keeping our mission strong.
