Sunshine Trail Work Underway: The TRACKS trail crew formally started work on the "Sunshine" trail on Monday, June 22. The crew is making good progress out there, and we believe one good work day will allow us to finish the trail, which connects Rainbows to the newly configured Buena Vista trail The TRACKS trail crew will be working on Sunshine again on the morning of Monday, June 29. They are meeting at the Buena Vista Trailhead at 7:00 a.m. If you can help, please c

Hey Everyone! Yesterday's post announced a ride in the Buena Vista Saturday morning, but my popular demand, we are changing it. We are riding Los Burros instead! Not a bad change at all, now is it? Some of us (can't think of whom exactly) have been spending too much time the Buena lately. So . . . meet at Los Burros trailhead #2 directly off the Vernon-McNary road at 7:30 a.m. and be ready to ride! If you find yourself at the Los Burros campground, you are in the wr

Buena Vista Progress Report: Hey everyone! Another busy week of trail work is in the books out in the Buena Vista Trail system. Thanks so much to the TRACKS trail crew what is working it every Monday, the ad hoc workers that are helping out and getting things done on other days days, and the big showing of help and support we got last Saturday morning. The work going on is incredible! Here's where we stand right now: Rainbows: The regular TRACKS trail crew finished

Buena Vista Trail Workday: Great news! STBVF is having a trail give-back day in the Buena Vista this coming Saturday, June 13th at 7:00 a.m.. Yep, this coming Saturday is your opportunity to give back to the trail system where you love to ride that mountain bike of yours. We won't be having a group ride Saturday morning.

Trail Construction Officially Begins: Having received approval from the USFS, TRACKS officially began construction in the Buena Vista on Monday, June 1st. They are starting by tackling the two beginner trails, Rainbows and Sunshine. At this point, a little over 1/2 mile of Rainbows has been more or less built, or at least roughed in.. Picture of the intersection of our two new trails, Rainbows & Sunshine! The intersection is already sporting the new trail signs

Saturday Ride: Hey Everyone! Well, are you ready for your first ride in the now officially recognized Buena Vista Trail system? Yep, Saturday is the day, the very first time your tires will touch what are "officially" part of the White Mountain Trail System. Has anything changed that much yet? Nope, other than you'll notice white diamonds are in the process of being hung all over the formerly "secret" trails. We might have hoped to have a little preview this week

BV Project Receives USFS Approval Today: Folks, we've got really great news to share. This afternoon we received word that the USFS has approved the Buena Vista project! This means that the old social trail system in the Buena area that were not included in the land exchange area are now official trails We are also free to build the rest of the proposed trails in the project area, to post signage, and to create some re-routes of some existing social trails to move

Saturday Ride 5/2/26: It's hump day folks, and that means it is time to start thinking about your weekend plans. Obviously, mountain biking is at the top of the priority list, so thoughts turn to our Saturday morning ride. This weekend we've got something a little bit different for you: A loop ride starting from the Panorama trailhead. We'll be riding the Flume Connector, a portion of the Timber Mesa trail, the Sawmill Connector, and then finishing the loop with runnin

Saturday Group Ride: Wow, what a great ride last weekend out at Los Burros! The trail was in great shape and our little group of eight had a great time out there. It was cool and brisk to start the morning for sure, but once we drove ourselves up the first climb things settled in nicely. Yes, it takes a bit to get out to Burros, but it always rewards you for the extra effort. What's on deck for this week? Well, we are headed back for some home cooking in the Buena V

⚠️ Caution Buena Users ⚠️: So, I'm pedaling up Flintstone this evening. I get about 3/4 of the way up Flintstone, to the spot in the trail where there is a flat area that is pretty free of vegetation. And as I get there, there is the dark colored SUV parked on the left side of the trail perpendicular to it. Never having seen a vehicle anywhere before on Flintstone, and knowing it is almost impossible to get a vehicle to that location, I decide to slow down and chec
