Our dig day with @morcmtb at the Braemar jump line was a blast. We helped repair the shark fins on the back line and learn a bit about the process of maintaining jumps and trails. Thanks for having us out! And thank you for maintaining all of these amazing trails we love.

I thought road biking was bad ass until @lostinmpls @_bettynuggs and their team from @midwestdirtlegion took a group I gathered on a mountain bike adventure through the woods. \n\nMTB biking was a challenge. But the clinics lead prepared us for the turns, stump riding, and adrenaline that comes from riding between narrow trees at 15mph! Lol\n\nIt was so damn fun. MTB actually forces you to get up out your saddle and be interactive with your bike the whole ride. Your engaging core, obliques is surfing, and legs are feeling the strength in your stance. \n\nThe best part about MTB is the scenery. You’re deep in the woods and you don’t have the distraction of pulling out your phone because you have to ride safe. I wish I could show you what we saw and give you the feel of what we went through via screen. Next time proper cameras will be there for sure. \n\n@lostinmpls thank you and your team so much for coming out with patience, personality, and full of knowledge of this amazing sport. We see your passion and it’s so inspiring what you do for yourself and others. Yall are so bad ass and I speak for us all when I say we can’t wait to do this again. \n\n@nowbikes I’m so thankful for your partnership. Because of the fleet you provide we’re able to do rides like this. \n\nIf you were able to join us for a clinic/ride with us comment below how the experience was for you! If you’ve MTB before what you love most about it? Would newbies give this a shot?\n\n#bikingwithbaddies #bikelife #midwestdirtlegion #fyp \n#strava #nature #explorempls #mtb #cycling #ride
