Cuyuna Recreation Area mountain biking trails are the first ones to open in the northern half of Minnesota for the 2024 dirt season. All of the trails in Duluth are still closed for the spring freeze/thaw cycle so we decided to make the 2 hour trek over to Cuyuna to get some miles in.
The trails were in really good shape for first dirt. There were a few soft spots and the trail was a little moist on some of the back sides of the hills but that should be gone soon. Not everything was open which was fine for us as we only wanted to just get some XC miles in to start off the season. Cuyuna doesn't disappoint. It's easy to get some decent miles in if you really want to. You'll have some nice flow punctuated with ups and downs. Some of the hills that we rode such as Sand Hog and Hopper Hill will give you a little extra climbing but still a good time. I would also say Miner and Mucker Mountain are both good trails to hit too on the west side of the system. I wanted to hit Screamer but totally forgot about it.
All in all, a good day on the trail but most days are anyhow. If you get to Cuyuna, there are a lot of good restaurants and Cuyuna Brewing is always good for a post ride beverage if you partake. The little burrito shop right next door is well worth it and you can bring it into the brewery as well or sit out at the sidewalk tables on a nice 72F day like today was.
I appreciate you riding along and, if you would, please hit that subscribe button as it does help grow my channel as I ease into retirement and do more rides around the country. Now, GET OUTSIDE!
