Tricks N Trails is a MTB race/ride for all ages put on by Ryan Balkenhol (Coach of Team Coyote) and Bobby Thompson (Owner of Discover Gravel). The event benefits local area cycling youth by donating 100% of the net profits to a local youth cycling fund.
TnT takes place on a private trail system of about 2 miles of trails. The trails are beginner friendly but will keep even the advanced riders heartrate as high as they can handle. Fast and fun is key here with races being between 8-10 miles.
I mean...we ALL do really. Youth cycling is a year round activity. Costs can escalate for families from maintenance to entry fees to transportation. We simply don't want cost of cycling to be a barrier of entry in keeping kids on bikes. The rest of us, the adults, benefit by sharing our love of two wheels with the younger generation!
By all accounts, Tricks N Trails (TnT) 2022 was a great success!! We had just at 70 riders sign up! We had about 60 riders show up and toe the start line. The day generated just under $3000 from registration fees, food and drink sales and shirt sales. We are all very appreciative of and humbled by the cycling community's generosity. From the bottom of our hearts...THANK YOU!!!
The future of TnT looks bright indeed. We will be back in 2023 even more experienced and with a more polished race day experience. I say that but I must say...our crew pulled off a stellar first MTB race! We will add a 5k trail run in 2023 for a more well rounded day. A day the whole family can enjoy! We will be reaching out to folks for partnership and sponsorship opportunities to ass to the riders experience! Ryan and I can not wait for 2023!!
