Road and Mountain Biking

It’s snowy on all the trails now, and hopefully frozen. This gives you the opportunity to go mountain biking if you so choose. When the trails warm back up, they will be particularly muddy and the trail tread will be particularly prone to damage. If you’re going to do it, get out your fat bike and do it now!  

Upcoming Events

You can volunteer at the Rebuild-it Center on saturdays from 9 to 1. The Hood River Farmers Market is at May Street School from 10 to 2. Not much else going on today.
