The WoodBurner is a arms wide open embrace of Fall (and maybe even early winter). We’ll take our fat bikes out to the Sheyenne National Grassland for a group ride on the North Country Trail. The soil there is pretty sandy in spots which is why a fat bike is the preferred bike choice for this ride. More details to come!

Please note: this is a tentative date for this event. Please check back for final date as we get closer to September.

Have you ever wanted to try a 100 mile bike ride? This is your chance! We’ll be leading a group ride on Saturday, August, 24th that will go at least 100 miles in and around Fargo-Moorhead. More details to come.

The WoodTicker is a mostly gravel event with distances of; ~50 kilometers, ~100 kilometers, and ~150 kilometers. Exact Course and Distances TBD. Route and .GPX File will be available prior to the event.

By the time May comes around we are all eager to get out on our bikes and log what is typically our first longer road ride of the year. The weather is usually nice and more reliable by this time, and we want to get out and really stretch our legs after a long winter. If you think the way we do, you’ll want to join us for this one. We’ll go roughly 100km, known as a “metric century”. If you can’t do the conversion, that is about 62 miles. We’ll plan the route, set a time and meeting place - join us!

Join us as we partner with Dave Elofson, the F/M Back 40’s Social Club, and BIke Walk North Dakota for the first El Zagel Spring Classic. This is a fun event for the whole family.

Wheels will begin rolling around 10:00am, but will gather as early as 9:00am if you want to catch up with everyone before the ride begins. We plan to ride at least one lap of the trail, but are open to doing more if the going is good! We’ll have hot and cold beverages following the riding.

Global Fat Bike day is a day for getting out on our fat bikes and celebrating both winter and how awesome our local trails are. Save the date for December 2nd. More information to come.

The buck stops here! This is L.A.N.D.’s most epic race yet, the MDH BUCK-FIFTY. No excuses, no cop-outs, no whining, no doubt about it, YOU are 100% responsible for YOU at this race, from your training and preparation, to crossing the finish line of one of the longest and most brutal continuous single-track trails in the world. This is one of the RADDEST and BADDEST endurance racing accomplishments a person can aspire to attempt.

In the spring we have the WoodTicker, and in the fall we have the WoodChipper! We are still developing plans for this event, but check back here for more information.

Riders will be required to ride a lap of each trail system in town - Iwen, Gooseberry, and MB Johnson Park. The times from each trail will be recorded and cumulated together and we’ll see who can do it the fastest.

This is definitely an event you want to put on your radar for 2023!
