Double Lake Work

More work at Double Lake. We will fix some hog beds, trim and maybe clear some downed trees. You need to have sturdy shoes, pants, safety glasses and gloves and be capable of riding your bike or walki...
Attached is an updated Double Lake trail map. It is also posted at the entrance & kiosk, at the trailhead, at both the men's and women's facilities by the parking lot and at the turn with the inset map - which is only temporary until the last section of trail is worked on. We will need volunteers to open the remainder. Keep an eye out for workdays soon.

Main task is supporting one (maybe two) sawyers, who'll clear downed trees and dangerous stumps. Other crew will set a few more pavers. If we get this done, we're in position to request opening of t...
I just received word from the Forest Service that more trail is opening at Double Lake starting this weekend. See the attached trail map. The outer and Western most section of DLRA will remain fully closed and the closure will be extended out to the road. If you are used to race routes, please revise your routes and remember that there may be more two way traffic than historically until the full network is open.
Thank you to our new friends at Holiday World RV for inviting us out to today's Health & Wellness Fair.
You guys really know how to have fun and stay healthy!

Alright, Since Im back in the saddle again with cycling Ive decided I am ready to get with the times and upgrade to a 27.5 FS mountain bike. I love my Racer X, best bike I have ever owned. The market place is a mess with options now it seems. Looking for options and the reason behind them in regards to whats out there. Have any of you gone back to a hardtail from a FS with the bigger wheel size? I see that most of the big name brands are 2x11 or 1x11, is this the new norm?
Howdy! If you want to race MTB but also paddle and run:
