Over 400 Miles of Montana Singletrack to be Closed to Bicycles!

Comment now on the Lolo, Bitterroot, and Flathead forest plans to preserve mountain bike access to some of the best trails in the state.

The revised forest plans for the Lolo, Bitterroot, and Flathead National Forests will exclude mountain bikes from trails in areas that are proposed for wilderness designation. Bicycles have always been legal in these areas despite the fact that they have been proposed wilderness for many years. This change in management style is not in response to any problems caused by mountain bikes, but is a bureaucratic dictate from the Washington office. Our use of these areas has been so subtle over the years that the Forest Service does not realize how much we ride these trails and how important they are to Montana mountain bikers. Now is the time for mountain bikers to speak up and let the Forest Service know that we cherish rides like Heart Lake, Monture Creek, Bluejoint Creek and Blodgett Canyon.

{What's New}

Name Change! - LIMB has a new name. We are now Mountain Bike Missoula! The new name is hopefully more representative of all mountain bikers in the Missoula area, regardless of whether they are downhillers, XC racers, freeriders, trials riders, urban riders, huckers, climbers, lungs with legs or chain smokers.

Our web site can now be reached @
