Pre-Season Challenge #3 – Ride a new trail, for the first time

Wheels so light they float

This challenge is simple:  Ride a trail for the first time, post a photo of yourself at the trail, mention that it’s your first time at this trail when you post the photo to our Strava Club.

We love seeing your photos! Keep on posting on Strava and we’ll see you all on the trail in a few weeks.

HINT: If you haven’t been to Owassipe before, now’s a great time to try it out for the first time!  If you are looking for a trail you haven’t visited before, download the TrailForks app and get exploring!  This week’s BLWR TT is at Owassipe too, so you have two reasons to visit!


Weekly Challenge Photos!

Last week’s challenge:  Three different trailheads, three different photos.  We received over 30 submissions! Nice work Coyotes!

We got 30 photos from this week’s challenge!  Thanks for sharing your rides, Coyotes!  If you haven’t received any stickers in the mail please send your address to wmcoyotesmtb@gmail.com and we’ll hook you up.
