It is with great disappointment that the Woolly Crew has made the call to reschedule the Woolly Race to July 10th, 2022. Going into the weekend we were very optimistic that the 0.25"-0.5" of forecasted rain would be bearable and we could put on a good race. Unfortunately, by 10am on Saturday Woolly had already received 1.25" of rain with another 0.5" forecasted to come by race time on Sunday. The soccer fields that are our start and finish area had kids up to their ankles in muddy water, the new bypasses around our muddies trails are underwater, and the best draining trails we planned to use ..read more

POSTED 4/28/2022 9:30PM   Hey Woolly Land and MN MTB Series Riders! I'm sure you are all obsessively hitting refresh on the forecast pages, just like us, hoping to see the rain clouds magically disappear and sunshine and 70's show up.  And instead are worried about a cancelled race. Here is the TL;DR version: Woolly and the MN MTB Series are very optimistic that we will be racing on Sunday.  It might be damp, and the courses may be slightly modified, but we are going to do everything we can to race.   And if you want the long version: Woolly and the Series have been gettin ..read more

  Woolly Needs You! I don't need to tell anyone that it has been a strange year.  As we draw it to a close I would like to ask you to consider joining (or renewing) IMBA and designating Woolly Bike Club as your chapter. Why?  A few reasons. That is how you officially become a member of the Woolly Bike Club.  Members are able to elect the board members who help steer the direction of the club.  Members can also run for that board and directly contribute. Almost all of that membership money comes back to Woolly Bike Club.  Most of our annual operating ..read more

3/17/2020 - Hey Woolly Land, It is with great disappointment that I must let you know that the Woolly Bike Club has decided that we must postpone the 2020 Woolly Race.

We are in contact with the MN Mtb Series and will continue to monitor the situation and hope to get onto the schedule later in 2020. As the weather gets ..read more

While there is still a lot of snow on the ground and hopefully will be for another two months or so with sweet groomed single track to ride, Woolly is busy working in the background on the 2020 Woolly Race scheduled for May 3rd!  That means we will shortly be seeking out sponsors for the 2020 race. But first, we need to do another round of shout-outs for our 2019 sponsors.  Sponsorships are what makes it possible for Woolly to put on our race.  That race basically funds our entire operation allowing us to build and maintain those sweet trails.  So, be sure to suppo ..read more
