Sometimes it nice to slow down and enjoy the easier trails. Below is a video of some of my favourite lower Cumberland trails. They’re short trails with lots of roots and lots of flow which are fun to cruise. We typically ride these trails at the end of the ride however, they’re also great...

JohnBeaverPonds1

We managed to sneak one last ride in before heading home. Butte was on the way and John had mentioned that Beaver Ponds was a great trail so we met him at International Coffee Traders in Bozeman first thing in the morning and headed out. And weather-wise, our luck had changed. It was a...
