Been a member of MORC for 3 years now and they’ve done a good job in the MInneapolis/St. Paul metro area. They do have some family friendly trails like Lake Rebecca which have nice scenery but not much for intermediate to advanced riders so rider retention at places like this is an issue as you probably won’t be making the drive out here often with much more fun trails in the area. Battle Creek is the real achievement here in my opinion. A trail which has been adopted and expanded upon which includes a variety of trail for ALL levels of riders and designed in such a way where everyone should be able to ride through the system and avoid sections or features they may want to avoid. Also, black diamonds here may not be true black diamonds ( GOAT is legit) but much better than the other systems so the rating system here seems much better than elsewhere in the area. Lake Rebecca has a reported black diamond section but lets be honest, outside of an endurance test that segment is green. Their other trails have evolved and are also a lot of fun like Elm Creek, Theodore Wirth, Carver Lake, Bertram Chain of Lakes, Hillside (definitely improved), etc. Thanks MORC!!!!
