Demo the new Kona Unity! $60/24 hours, or $100/24 hours with camping set up(as seen in the later pictures). Currently we only have one Large and one Medium with a couple of camping set-ups.

If you are interested in bikepacking we are happy to set you up with these great bikes and put you on a route fit to you. Using our camping gear, or bringing your own, the Kona Unity has the mounts to carry the gear you need. Kona made a bike well suited for our area with the high-vollume tires, a long front end, and front rack directly mounted to the headtube, creating stability and grip for everything from access roads to the rocky singletrack we know and love in Rothrock State Forest. Guiding available upon request.

Our Annual Raystown Lake Cleanup Day is THIS SATURDAY! The forecast is shaping up to be beautiful (fingers crossed it stays that way 🤞)

Join the Friends of Raystown Lake and Raystown Lake, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as we work together to keep our shoreline clean, safe, and beautiful for everyone.

A huge THANK YOU to Patriot Disposal of PA (formerly Parks Garbage Service) for donating the dumpster and disposal fee for this year's cleanup!

Volunteers will be provided with gloves and bags, and will be treated to breakfast and lunch! Please wear closed-toe shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and be prepared to work outside and get dirty.

RSVPs are greatly appreciated! Please RSVP at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/lake-cleanup-day--2026 or call 814-658-6811

We are especially in need of volunteer boats and operators to transport volunteers and bags of trash that will be collected.

There is not much that gets us as excited as a river clean up. Emil was able to snake his way out of the shop last Saturday to help out with the Little Juniata River Cleanup hosted by the Little Juniata River Association. Feel free to reach out to us for any of your river clean-up needs. Put our recreational plastic on the river to get other types of plastic out!

We have been pumped to see more and more folks around to ride the Allegrippis trails! In order to keep up, every Sunday leading up to Dirtfest there will be trail-work days. Among other things this Sunday, we took out the Raystown Area Mountain Bike Organization(RAMBO) Surly Skid-Loader Ebike to clear some trees across Ray's Revenge.

Here are some after and before pictures. We could've done it cleaner, but atleast the trail is back to being ridable. Still to cut is one on Rays, one on Allie, and the many to fall as the days pass. Email us coordinates/locations, or even better mark things on Trailforks to keep us informed.
