With all the great trails in the area, and so many fast riders, all of us down here at the Garage thought it would be fun to see who holds the top times on some our favorite trails. The idea is simple, and there is nothing in it for you other than that good old personal gratification, and big freakin High Five. Do you think you got what it takes to be Trail Royalty? If you do, there are three ways to get an official Garage time.

1. Strava – Probably the easiest way to post up a time, and you can do it on your own when ever you like. Just download the free app onto your phone and go ride. All courses for the Royalty Wall will be listed with “The Garage Official” following the trail name. thats were we will pull the times from, not some other segment that has been put up. You can get signed up Here
2. Gravity Guild Free Lap Times – The Gravity Guild owns a Free Lap Timing System and about once to twice a month we all go out and have a little timing session. all times for official trails are honored, while on an group ride with the Free Lap.
3. Helenduro Results – If any of the timed sections on the Helenduro race for any year match the trails then these times will be honored.
Keep in mind that all of these trails are multi use and these are not closed trails… so don’t be a dick! be careful, respectful and don’t go bust out for fast times on high traffic times…. like weekends!

We have new times going up almost daily, so get out there and lay a time down. And remember this isn’t a race, just bragging rights. if you have any questions just leave a comment.
This Spring the Helena Art Walk is going Rogue @ The Garage. Featuring Montana’s best street artist – Jet Pack, A Thousand Arms, Dismal and Indelible Artistry. there art will be on display all evening and there is a good chance of a live panting that night. tasty beats for the evening will be supplied by DJ’s Kettu and Scoen.
In addition to the great art, we have two bands lined up for the post art walk entertainment. joining us from Seattle – the Leafy Greens. and from H town we have The Boy and Sister Alma.
No cover! All ages! and BYOB is always acceptable at the Garage. (just make sure to have a valid ID if you plan on drinking)
6pm – midnight.
Helena is open for riding. That’s the short story. Since the tropical weather we’ve been having this past week, almost all trails are open. There is an occasional soft or muddy spot, but these are drying up quickly. Please try not to tear into the trail if it obviously needs ripening. All I can say is go ride.
A couple of things to watch out for:
If this weather stays consistent through this coming weekend the gravity guild will start up group rides this next tuesday. We will post more information after this coming weekend.
What have you been riding? Noticed any down trees? Use the comment section below to get some early season beta out to others. And we will do what we can to inform the proper organizations and help alleviate any issues encountered on the trials.
Now go ride.
Happy Birthday to a great wrench. Awesome night with music by The Boy and Sister Alma. Who’s birthday is next?
