There will be guided mountain bike rides for all skill levels...beginner, intermediate, and advanced, women's mountain bike ride, kids ride around the dirt park, and guided hikes led by 3-Rivers Outdoors.

The course will be marked Monday afternoon and will be described to everyone before the first rider leaves. The time trial is open to all runners and bikers of every ability. If you don't feel like competing, then just come up and ride, hike, or give the dog some exercise. Stick around afterwards for brats and beverages.

 Human Powered Trails is sponsoring a group outing on Saturday May 14, 2011 to the Levis/Trow Mound trails in Neillsville, WI (Clark County). Whether you’re a hiker, biker, or just love the outdoors we encourage you to join us in checking out another great trail system that Wisconsin has to offer.
Levis/Trow Mounds provides more than 19-miles of single-track trails and an additional 15-miles of cross-country ski trails for riding. It has some of the best trails in the mid-west with diverse riding ranging from beginner to advanced. Levis/Trow also has more than 34-miles of scenic trails for hiking. Additionally, there is a self-guided nature study trail which reviews a variety of natural resource features. Similar to the bike trails, hikers will encounter a variety of terrain from a leisurely stroll to leg busting climbs.
We will be meeting at 9:00 am in the Best Buy parking lot. From there we will travel together to the Levis/Trow trailhead. Once at the trailhead we’ll enjoy a day of hiking and biking. After everyone has worked up an appetite HPT will light the grill and provide lunch and a cooler of beverages for everyone. Then you can hang out for the rest of the afternoon or hit the trails again.
If you’re a biker it will cost you $5.00 for a trail pass which is available at the trailhead. No fee is required to hike the trails. Dogs are allowed on the trails, but must be on a leash.
