Are you bringing the kiddos out to ride singletrack for the first time?  Or maybe you’re looking for a little taste yourself?  This is a 1/2 mile loop that starts from the main parking lot trailhead.  It’s real singletrack with lots of ups and downs, twists and turns, but it’s not as technically challenging as the trails on the back side of the park.

Be sure to go 50 yards to the RIGHT of the main map, back towards the picnic area to find the multiuse trailhead.

You can find a GPS map of this loop for your phone on Trailforks at:

Join or renew your CMBR membership and you can race the Sat Dec 28th, 2019 Merry Masher FOR FREE!

Also, all CMBR memberships include a club permit to ride Eklunta, Inc. trails.

We would prefer that you join/renew and register for the race through EVENTBRITE, although they do charge a small fee, it really helps our volunteers to collect roster information and liability waivers automatically.

When you click register there is a “no race” option if that works better for you.

We also can accept donations through PayPal, but you will need to send us your contact information, as they only share your email with us.  This option requires a bit more work for our volunteers to process.

Finally, you can send us a check!  This is great for larger donations and there are no fees, but it may take us a while to get you entered into the system!  Be sure to include a little note with your contact information and what the check is for. Our mailing address is Chugach Mountain Bike Riders, PO Box 672555, Chugiak, AK 99567.

Thanks!
