Part of CORBA’s mission is to create opportunities for mountain bikers in the Chippewa Valley to ride and race the great trails our volunteers build. Want to hammer against other racers? Want to push yourself to a PR? Want to just get out and soak in the singletrack with a fun group of riders? We’ve got you covered.

Fall Back Blast Trail Run

Powder Keg Fat-Bike and Snowshoe and Ski Races
To heck with hibernation. Winter is as good a time as any to get out and enjoy the trails, and enjoy them you will at the Powder Keg. You never know what to expect with the weather at this one, but fun is always in the forecast.
