It's finally here...The much anticipated Grand Opening of the Sylaward Trail at Lake Howard in Sylacauga Alabama is scheduled for March 28th. The days events will kick off at 10 am with activities ranging from a bunny hop contest to a frisbee golf challenge. The ribbon cutting ceremony will begin around 11 am with the trail being open for a group ride and run/hike immediately after.

The USFS notified us that they will be burning in he area of the trail today and are closing the Sylaward trail for today.

The Forest Service is planning a controlled burn around the Lake Howard area. The mountain bike trail will be in the burn area. The burns are tentatively scheduled for one or more days beginning on this Friday, January 16 thru Monday January 19. I am not sure which days the burns will take place but the day we do the burn we will first clear the trail to make sure no one is out there and then close the trail at all access points.
Please help me spread the word to everyone.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to give me a call.
Thank you!
