Save Half Day and Rebuild Hurricane Campaign

North Conway is home to some of the best public mountain biking with the most vertical descent in New England and we need your help to continue the progress!

Half Day

Our top priority is rebuilding Half Day. Half Day is a steep and fast descent located on the picturesque Cathedral Ledge. Because of trail degradation, the trail is in danger of being shut down. Ride NoCo, IdeRide, and the USFS have been working together to make the adjustments needed to improve the trail, securing its future.

This project will focus on keeping the natural, tight feel of the existing trail and will be a handwork-only build by the IdeRide crew. Run by Knight Ide, IdeRide is known for his work across the country but, most importantly, for his work in his hometown of East Burke, Vermont. The rework will greatly improve the sustainability of the trail in the long term as well as the fun! We’ve done the work of securing land permissions and the USFS has graciously contributed a $15,000 grant. We have already received generous community support, but we need a total of $10,000 to make this project a reality!

Upper Hurricane Rebuild

Upper Hurricane needs attention. Our goal is to rebuild the upper approximate 1/2 mile of Hurricane Trail by machine to match the flow and style of the lower portion of the trail. The work will be done by Tulip Trails, the creators of our newest flow trail, Tornado. Check out Tulip Trails' portfolio! We need an additional $10,000 to make this project a reality this year.

We thank you so much for your help and can't wait to see you out on the trails this spring!
