With trails that track endlessly through ancient hardwood groves and twist and turn along rocky riverbeds, it's seriously scenic and techy enough to keep you guessing. CRNEMBA, Maine Huts & Trails, and The town of Carrabassett Valley have spent tons of time and effort building berms, rock armor, bridges, and switchbacks throughout the valley region and into the moun- tains. Situated along the trail system are four back- country eco-lodges maintained by Maine Huts & Trails, a non-profit organization based in nearby Kingfield. A popular destination for Nordic skiers, mountain bikers are now discovering the huts as more bike trails are built in the area. Here's what you should know before you book your hut trip: Pack light, or use a gear shuttle It's all-inclusive, but you'll want some cash The huts have pretty much everything you need, including food and Every night at a hut (and that term's used loosely, they're really pret- beer, but you'll still be packing in a sleeping bag and toiletries.

Project Background This trails concept plan provides guidance and recommendations for developing a comprehensive trail network at the Powers Bluff County Park in Wood County, 2.5 miles southwest of Arpin, Wisconsin. This trail system will capitalize on the growing demand in the Midwest region for trails that are optimized for mountain biking. It will serve the needs of all recreation users by adding upon the existing Powers Bluff Trail network with new multi-use trails and the creation of bike- optimized trails for all ages and ability levels. Master Planning for Powers Bluff County Park (PB) has been ongoing since 2003, and was revitalized when Wood County acquired 223 acres of property directly north of the existing park. Since that time, planning has been done to include a multi-use shelter building, fishing pond, ice skating rink, northern entrance road with parking lots, improvements to the existing ski/tubing infrastructure, additional trail development, and support facilities.

The purpose was to develop a design and construction proposal for a cargo bike from a strategic market perspective, that could broaden the audience of Rawbike to include more female users. The Rawhauler is a powerful cargo bike with attitude for those who need an agile, multifunctional and modular cargo solution. The Rawhauler makes it possible to carry heavy loads and climb the steepest of hills while having a pleasant biking experience in crowded commuter traffic. Literature studies and strategic tools were used to design a branding strategy where a small company like Rawbike can develop a strong brand to stand out in the crowd. User centred studies were conducted to ensure a product well adapted to the needs and wants of its users. The insights gained from these two fields were then used to develop a competitive concept that both extended the existing portfolio and appealed to the whole Rawbike community, regardless of gender.

  • Global Fat Bike Summit Recap 1-30-15
    Our mission is to create and sustain the best possible mountain bike trail system and experience in the Roaring Fork Valley. Global Fat Bike Summit & Festival, Jan. 23-25, 2015 - Recap Notes Jackson, Wyoming, Snow King Mountain. Welcome, Introductions, Fat Bike 101 - History and Current Use Host: Gary Sjoquist, QBP Advocacy Director. QBP = Quality Bike Parts, a primary wholesaler for all sorts of bike shop needs. (Gary founded Bikes Belong in the 90’s, which is now PeopleForBikes, a lobbying group that speaks for most bike advocacy groups & now has more than 1,000,000 contacts in its database.) Past Summits: West Yellowstone, 2012, about 15-30 attendees. Island Park, 2013. Ogden, Utah, 2014, 120 attendees. 4th Annual Summit, Jackson, WY, 200+ attendees registered. Jackson, Wy hosting this summit in part due to progressive local Forest Service policies. However, nearby Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks currently ban fat tire bikes on groomed routes; this summit is a step towards opening N.P.’s to fat bike users. Attendees this year include 3+ from National Park Service, 3 from BLM, 12+ from Forest Service, 6+ from State Parks. Fat Biking: For Riders = new trails, new terrain. For Retailers = bike shop biz thru the winter season. For Both = a new season of riding in cold and snowy locations. For Land Managers = new user group to manage, and for some, a potential new revenue source. “It’s not a fad.” Doubling in size each year. Fat bikes are not going away; new strategies are needed. 2004/05: Surly Pugsley frames & fat rims become available.
