Everyone is Invited!
 Human
Powered Trails is holding it's third of four "Trail Fest's" for 2009 - to celebrate
the trails and say thanks to our many volunteers (past, present and
future)!
If you have been wondering about what HPT does or how to get involved,
this is also a great opportunity to have some fun, eat some great food
and meet others involved in building better trails for the La Crosse
area.
We will start the day with a hike and a number of group mountain bike rides for
every level of rider. All rides will be lead by experienced HPT
Volunteers.
No matter what your
ability we'll have experienced volunteers to guide you around some of
the best built trails in the midwest - right in your own back yard!
