      Trek Bicycle Corporation has agreed to donate up to $10,000 in matching funds toward the construction of new mountain bike trails in the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area.

      The Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Crew is raising money to build Yawkey Overdrive, a technical skills terrain park designed for intermediate to advanced level mountain bikers, and Trek will match donations up to $10,000.

      Plans for Yawkey Overdrive include features like wood skinnies, wood rollers, rock features and raised bridges. The technical aspects of the proposed trail could increase the status of the trail system, deemed a bronze-level Ride Center last year by the International Mountain Bicycling Association.

      “This terrain park will make the system more well-rounded. It will give intermediate level riders a chance to build up their skills,” said Nick Statz, the Crew’s director of trail maintenance. “The trails we’re planning for the future could include some pretty extreme terrain. Yawkey Overdrive will be a good introduction to the more technically challenging trails.”
