The trails need some riding to pack and smooth out. Riding should be good anytime after 5pm.

Happy Thanksgiving from Owatonna Trails Association. Fat bike season is here. We groomed the trails yesterday with our new Snowdog thanks to a grant from the Owatonna Foundation and our OTA members.With the current temps riding should be good today and Friday. Please do not use the trails on Saturday and Sunday until temperatures drop […]

I went out today and the trails are wet and greasy. We’re in the middle of a week of freeze thaw. I’m hopping the trails will start to get solid after Wednesday. Please hold off using the trail until then.OTA thanks you for your patience.

With the rain and warm weather this week please hold off riding at least until Wednesday. I will go out and check the conditions Tuesday or Wednesday, and put an update out. It might take until temperatures get below freezing before riding is recommend.Thanks for your patience.

Please watch your use of the trail this weekend and next week. With the temps being in the 40s could make the trails very muddy. If your tracking a lot of mud please get off the trail and hold off riding until when it’s frozen.Thank you.

The trails are a little greasy in the normal spots and the first mile. They should freeze and be good to go until at least Friday.I will try to get out this week and clear the last of the leaves.

With a high near 40 Saturday please use caution if you plan to ride. If we can get through tomorrow without damaging the trail, the rest of the week looks good.

Thanks to those who helped on the trails today. We improved half a dozen spots on the ridge line and a few spots for water mitigation.Depending one the weather tonight and the freeze thaw this week trails maybe unridable unridable on and off. Please pay attention to the conditions of the trails when you head […]

Trails have been cleared and are drying up nicely. Should be good to go for the weekend
