670 Collective MTB Club

670 Collective MTB Club Alberta's best kept secret in mountain bike riding.

670 Collective Mountain Bike Club is a registered non-profit, volunteer-run organization affiliated with the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA). Located in the beautiful Canadian Badlands, we are the voice of the off-road cycling community in and around Medicine Hat, Alberta. Our hard working members not only design, build, and maintain sustainable trails in the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park and South Saskatchewan River Valley, but we are also the initiators of the Redcliff Bike Skills Park. Rewarded with one of the longest riding seasons in the country, local mountain bikers ride two distinctive landscapes within an hour of each other making it an exciting and unique riding destination. 670 Collective riders race across western Canada and the US, collect and fix bikes for underprivileged kids, travel abroad to other popular riding locations and are the organizers of the Battle Creek Showdown, a fun weekend of mountain bike racing and live music in Elkwater.

Hey 670mtnbike ! We’re back with your trail report!

After an amazing race weekend last week in Elkwater at the BCS the team Western Trail Fabricators Ltd. is prepping to wind down a bit. They put a new drop in Tragically Steep as well as work on an existing one that was less than ideal. Also some time fixing up Flatten the Curve due to extra traffic during Enduro. Huge thank you to our friends out there for making sure the trails were in top shape for BCS.

In Medicine Hat it’s been a few weeks since we’ve been on the mowers, and Viper, Sidewinder and Cobra Chicken are a bit furry. We were out yesterday on Smithers dealing with some downed trees and low hanging branches (1 & 2). Smithers is also a bit long in some sections and could use a fall trim.

Out in Redcliff our amazing club volunteers put in a few hours doing some water mitigation as well as rock work on Death Valley. As well some mowing was done on Tequila Sunrise. Frigidaire and Billy Goat need some club attention to get trimmed before the fall.

Over the next several weeks our community Danger Noodles will be making their way back to their fall/winter homes so be vigilant and keep an eye out on the trails!

Happy Riding!
