Happy Monday! The trails at Christie Lake are now Happy Monday! The trails at Christie Lake are now open! Thank you for your patience while we let the trails dry. Please note that there are a number of wet and muddy spots that have opened up due to the amount of rain and our volunteers will be out over the coming weeks to fix them up. Trail maintenance days are being scheduled as well. Please ride through the mud as riding around it as it will cause the trail to widen. Please do not take shortcuts through the forest. Remember to respect other trail users and follow proper trail etiquette. And lastly, there is a smoke warning from the forest fires burning in Ontario - stay hydrated and take lots of breaks. Thanks as well to everyone's suggestions for improving signage and communication. We're working with the HCA to improve processes for a better experience for all. Happy trails!
While we've hit Stage 3 of Ontario re-opening, we While we've hit Stage 3 of Ontario re-opening, we unfortunately must post about the closure of the Christie Lake mountain bike trails due to the substantial amount of rain we have received over the past few weeks. The trails have taken a thorough beating from individuals riding when the trails were still drying which has left significant ruts and pooling of water on the trails as additional rain has fallen. We'll continue to assess the trails and let everyone know when they are suitable for riding again. Please also stay tuned for upcoming maintenance and build days! Until then, please stay off and remember: Ride dirt trails not muddy trails. Thank you.
Given all the rain we’ve had lately - and the ra Given all the rain we’ve had lately - and the rain still in the forecast - this a friendly reminder to stay off wet/muddy trails! . . . #hbmba #mtbhamilton #hamont #burlingtonont #christielake

This Saturday, June 5, is Take A Kid Mountain Biki This Saturday, June 5, is Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day. We had hoped to hold a small, COVID-safe event, but here in Ontario, we just aren't quite there yet. So while we cannot gather with you this weekend, we want to encourage you to get out there with your groms and ride! Don't have kids? How about some verbal high-fives to kids on the trails. Don't forget to post pictures of your adventures and tag us with #HBMBAGromSquad and #HBMBA. And mark your calendar for Saturday, October 2 for the next Take A Kid MTB Day! . . . #hbmba #hbmbagromsquad #TakeAKidMountainBikingDay #TKMTB #IMBA #IMBACanada #mtbhamilton #hamont #dundasont #burlingtonont
