CONSTRUCTION NOTICE: Ben’s Bike Playground is happening! Mirror Lake north parking lot is closed, but trails will remain open, follow the detour signs. Overflow parking available at the boat launch, 400 yards past the beach.
We were really hoping the skies would dry up for our first official CMBR Kids session. While the rain has let up some, we recognize that standing around in the rain for our first lesson would not be the fun night we were looking forward to. You are welcome to come ride the trails with your families but we are cancelling tonight’s session. We will see you on Thursday!
Hello Parents,
We’ve had a few questions about rain today Tuesday, July 6th. (hello Alaskan summer).
Yes, CMBR Kids meets rain or shine, however if it’s really pouring, no one seems to have fun.
Because the forecast is drenched with a chance of showers, we WILL UPDATE THE http://www.CMBRalaska.org WEBSITE at 5pm to let you know if we will meet or not.
Thanks!

Chugach Mountain Bike Riders is providing a 30-day public notice of its intent to apply for an Alaska Recreational Trail Program grant for the rehabilitation and realignment of the existing 2.5k multiuse trail at Mirror Lake Park. Trail improvements will be focused nearest the main trailhead and picnic area. Public Comment or Opposition can be submitted at the methods listed above. The deadline for public comment is April 20, 2021.
We have raised $185k out of our $215k goal to build a trailhead bike park at Mirror Lake. We need to order the skills features and prefabricated jumps by MID-MARCH, so they will arrive in time for our July-August build window.
