Check it.

The Platteville crew just sent over the information for this year’s Blockhouse Roll weekend. For those of you who haven’t gone before, it’s a great time and typically features the last DH race of the season. If you’re still looking to fill your calendar for Oct. 2nd & 3rd, look no further.

Post up here if you plan on checking it out!

These guys send it huge!

Sorry for the last minute post, I was locked out of the site by myself! hahaha but check it going down this weekend. The Lodge at Giant’s Ridge is offering a race rate just tell them you are with the race! There is also camping available in the area. Vermilion Trail Campground is righ in Biwabik and there is also camping available alittle further a way in Eveleth!

Check it out guys, rolled up to Giant’s Ridge with a crew from MFC yesterday to check out the new DH trail they’ve built! Incredibly fun trail. Take Red Wing flip it on its head, add about 8 billion rocks, a fine dose of roots, then toss in some loamy dirt for good measure. Makes for a about 2:15 second run top to bottom at a pretty good clip! (Thor speed)

We’ll be hosting a race up there the weekend of Sept 10-12th. So come on up and check it out! More details on that coming in the next day or so.

We plan to finish the pump track this Sunday. Volunteers are needed to help put in the last of the pump rollers and pack in the remaining berms. Shovels and iron rakes are the best tools for the job, so bring some if you can, otherwise we have tools on site that you can use. Also, bring bikes so you can ride what you build and check out the rest of the dirt jumps!

In conjunction with the owner of the Lodge at Giants Ridge and with the support of Hoigaards, we are pleased to announce the addition of a third Jolly Roger Race for the this season!

As many of you already know, we have been building a new trail at Giants Ridge in Biwabik, MN. We have been making great progress and I can’t convey how excited I am about this trail. Between the elevation and natural terrain, this will be one of the best DH trails in the Midwest.

The race will be held on Saturday September 11th.

Registration and Pre-riding will begin at 8am, the race will begin at noon.

Currently, we are planning to shuttle riders the entire day. In addition, there will be discounted rooms available at the lodge for our riders on Saturday night, and potentially a shuttle available on Sunday if you wanna hang out and ride the trail for an extra day. I will deliver the specifics as soon as possible.

There is so much access to recreational activities in that area: biking, boating, hiking, golfing, ATVing, Swimming (AKA Cliff Jumping), Fishing…the list goes on and on. I encourage you to spend the weekend and check out the area.

Talk about how stoked you are to race on the hottest new DH trail in MN…pfft, more like the entire world!
