Sunday, April 11 Beck Lake Bike Park at 11am at the gazebo. See map.
The soil is moist and the time is right to do some digging (and raking). We are going to tackle refurbishing the beginner flow trail, "Final Approach"; clean up the berms, turn the jumps back into jumps, etc. Expect to work for 2 to 3 hours or as long as you can stay. We will rendezvous at the Gazebo. Square headed shovels and digging shovels will be the days preferred tools. PCP has a limited supply of these, so bring one if you have it. It would be great if you could let us know you are coming so I have an idea of how many teams to organize as well as who to contact if the weather does not cooperatre. Please respond to info@parkcountypedalers.org
Please bring your own work gloves, water, food, etc. You will have to either walk or ride to the work areas. 
The waiver you need to sign before working is here as a Word document and here as a .pdf. If you are a minor, you must bring a form signed by a parent. See you there.

Our semi-regular FunRaiser is on this year. March 30, 2019, 7 PM at the Cody Auditorium. Live music from Beacon Hill, Kalyn Beasley and Sam Kessler. Food and drink from 307 Pizza and Red Lodge Ales.

All proceeds go back into your local trails.
Tickets at the door.

Summer is officially here and Park County Pedalers is firing up our Thursday night mountain bike ride series. We will pick a different local classic to tackle each week. You've heard the legends of these Cody area trails and now it is time to ride it with those that made them legendary. Rendezvous at JoyVagen for a 6pm departure. As we develop a schedule of rides we will try to add them here or you can look at our events on Facebook. These rides, unless otherwise posted, are for intermediate and better riders. Here are images of some of the places we plan on going. 

Sold Out - if you want to get on the waiting list you can still register online at EventBrite. $175 fee. 
A two-day mountain bike camp, with a Friday evening meet and greet, July 6 - 8. This two-day camp is for women who want to ride mountain bikes, develop skills (or improve the ones they’ve got!), gain confidence on their bike, correct bad habits, meet other local women riders, and have fun doing it.
Expert coaches from the Rowdy Gowdy Mountain Bike Camps will lead two fantastic days of essential skills and practice with your bike in Cody, WY. Open to beginner and intermediate+ lady riders (21 and up). Key areas of focus include braking, dismounting, shifting, balance, vision, body position, cornering, obstacles, wheel lifts, drops, ascending and descending. More advanced skills will be offered to those interested.
If you are unsure of your skill level or where you fit in, please contact us at bikerchixmtb@gmail.com.
Included in the fee are lunches and snacks during camp, qualified instructors, skills sessions, guides, epic singletrack, bike maintenance practice, bike park features for intermediate riders, Sunday morning yoga session, Friday evening meet-and-greet, laughter, jokes, and fun and a cool performance T-shirt to prove it.
Space is limited to 30 participants to ensure a small group size and all proceeds benefit Park County Pedalers.
Camp details will be provided following registration. Register online at EventBrite. ​

The bike park opened May 27th. We kept it kind of quiet, a soft opening. We plan on having a full blown grand opening celebration sometime in July. Stay tuned for more details. For more information and photos of the park, see the Beck Lake Bike Park and Trails page. 

Here is the status of the bike park. Shea and Flow Ride Concepts have packed up and moved on. Shea will be back, probably the end of next week, to punch out a few last items. Ward, Shea and I have consulted and believe we will be ready for a “soft opening” of the bike park the weekend of May 27. A formal grand-opening extravaganza can take place sometime in June.
We have quite a list of things to do before a Memorial Day weekend opening. So, this weekend, Saturday, May 20 we are doing a (hopefully) large scale volunteer effort across the bike park. If we can’t bang a bunch of this out this weekend, it may delay the opening. We will start at 10am (if you want to start earlier, please contact me for instructions) and work until we are done. Tentative rendezvous point is the top parking lot at the large orange construction fence before you reach the pit toilets.
Because of the large amount of work to do, I am looking for people to commit to this project ahead of time so I have an idea of how many “managers” we will need and start assigning tasks. Want a chance to ride the park early (say Saturday evening after work is done), then volunteering is a sure way to do it.
Please reply or contact John Gallagher if you can commit to helping on Saturday. If you would like to direct a small group of volunteers doing anything from packing berms to mixing concrete to picking up dead sage brush, please let me know ahead of time.
If it is too wet on Saturday, we will try again on Sunday.
As always, thanks for your help in getting this awesome bike park open.

There are about a million details to work out, but most of the big stuff is done. Stay tuned for opening information. The beginner lines are fun for everyone (see the video below) and the expert lines are a bit intimidating, but definitely something to aspire to. 

Tonight I watched Shea Ferrel, partner in FlowRide, Concepts test riding his fine work. Only a few more weeks and this could be you. Until then, you will just have to watch the test riders and mentally prepare yourself.
