I have a created a new Facebook group I hope you will check out, note this is not a FAMB specific page so invite anyone that would be interested to join!

This is a Flathead Valley community forum for posting trail conditions, finding a riding partner, bike related events, discussing mountain bikes, parts and gear, as well as looking for advice and asking questions! If you are an avid mountain biker in the Flathead, have just moved here, or are new to mountain bikes and are looking for tips you are in the right place.

installed in the past, but maintenance needs to be done.

mile from TH. Currently no safe, dry way to cross.
