National Trails Day
Before we dig into the month ahead, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who joined us for our National Trails Day event on Sunday June 7th. Whether you came out to volunteer, ride, support the trails, or simply enjoy the atmosphere, thank you. Days like these remind us why we're so passionate about bringing people together around trails, bikes, and community.
A special thank you goes out to our partners at Atlas Butler, Preservation Parks, Lost in the Woods, and ODNR for helping make this event possible. These organizations understand the positive impact our mountain bike community can have and share COMBO's commitment to Building Trails. Building Community.
Together, our volunteers and trail crews spent the day giving back to Alum Creek Trails, helping ensure these trails remain fun, sustainable, and accessible for everyone. After the work was done, Lost in the Woods welcomed us for an incredible after-party that gave everyone a chance to connect, celebrate, and enjoy the community we've built together.
The trails don't maintain themselves, and events like this don't happen without the support of dedicated volunteers, partners, sponsors, and riders like you.
From all of us at COMBO, thank you for helping us build something bigger than trails. We can't wait to see what we accomplish together next.
Ladies…this one is for YOU!

We’ll meet you where you are and help you achieve your goals in small groups with likeminded ladies.
