Paul Bunyan Forest Riders Annual Fall Trail Ride

Description

Come and enjoy a fall color trail ride before the forest closes for the season. We will be basing our rides out of the Stompin’ Grounds campground, 3.6 miles north of Akeley, MN on highway 64. Look for the blue Stompin’ Grounds signs. This is where we will have registration, we will have maps available, and club members will be available to take you on a guided ride if you want someone to show you around. The event is October 19th and 20th, Sat and Sun of MEA weekend but many make it a 4 day family fun weekend.

There is no charge for the trail ride  (free will donations are accepted).
The only requirements to join in are:
Sign an AMA insurance waiver.
Have a DNR Registration Decal on your bike.
Have a USFS approved spark arrestor.
Pass a sound check of 96 db maximum if you are tested.

Stompin Grounds lodge will be open for lunch and dinner all weekend. They have great food!

On Saturday evening we are having a pot-luck dinner in the Stompin Grounds lodge. The Stompin Grounds will be providing incredible hamburgers, and the riders are requested to bring a dish to share. It’ll be a feast of Paul Bunyan proportions!

Klim is sponsoring a free pancake breakfast on Sunday morning in the Stompin Grounds lodge, because hey… EVERYONE knows pancakes are Paul Bunyan’s favorite!  Check out the new Klim gear while your’e there.
