Stay "Tuned"! The 2027 Event Schedule will be released Friday morning!

BTW, what is the FB equivalent of the phrase "tuned"? For those of you who did not grow up in the 80's "tuned" meant to keep your radios tuned to your favorite radios station frequency...

One of our riders, Charles Rhea, hit the Tanglefoot Trail this morning for the Pedaling for Hope ride benefiting Regional Rehabilitation Center and New Albany Main Street Association.

The cloudy, breezy weather made for an enjoyable 25-mile ride along one of Mississippi’s most beautiful trails—all for a great cause. Charles, of course, spent plenty of those miles popping wheelies!

Thank you to the sponsors for supporting this fun event and the important work of Regional Rehab!

Three of our riders, Collins, Charles, and Emerson, are spending a week of their summer at Camp Yocona, a Scout camp in Randolph, MS where they’re trading race courses for camp trails, outdoor adventures, and Scout activities. (But of course, they took their bikes!)

Mountain biking and Scouting make a great combination—building confidence, endurance, leadership, and a love for the outdoors. We’re proud to see our riders staying active and having fun even during the off-season.

We love encouraging more kids on bikes! 🚲

Join us for Tupelo Police Department’s “Let’s Ride” Bicycle Safety Event!
