Weve also been supporting our communities in helping with the Huntington Community Forest by using our volunteer time to help install kiosks and signage where we share our trail. Its always very rewarding when doing work along our trail when we get to meet those who appreciate the efforts of our community service. Signs will be going into the ground after hunting season, so please be respectful and do not venture out if there is snow until signs are in the ground. For the safety of those who want to ride, the trails do not officially open until we are able to finish our projects. Please keep an eye on our website for updates and also for opportunities to purchase club gear (coming soon)! Thanks to our members, volunteers, and most importantly our landowners.
