Ride Ragged Mountain

Where rugged single track trails, flowing downhill runs, and sweeping views of Penobscot Bay come together in a uniquely Maine experience. The trail network features a mix of technical terrain with roots, rocks, berms, and wooded climbs that wind through the mountain’s forests and ski trails. There is no summer lift service at this time, but the views are worth the climb.

Jibe

The main intermediate, multi-directional route that introduces riders to the mountain before they continue higher or descend into the trail network. In 2026, Midcoast Trails Stewardship (MTS) took on the rehabilitation of Jibe, completing carefully designed re-routes, rock-armored stream crossings, tread stabilization, and drainage improvements. The result is a smoother, more sustainable trail that makes Jibe a joy to ride. Jibe begins at the trailhead in Tobogganville.

Dreadnought

The premier difficult downhill flow trail on the Midcoast. This machine-built, hand-groomed trail is a spectacular downhill experience. Aside from 2-3 short steep sections, it's all flowing berms, rollers and tabletops. It has a few rock and wooden features for expert riders, all of which have bypasses Worth the climb up Jibe & Keelhaul.

Round the Mountain Trail

The 6-8 foot-wide, machine-built trail with a mostly graveled trail surface is perfect for running, non-technical mountain biking, or moderate hiking and walking. The multi-use trail, open to bikes and foot traffic (closed to horses and motorized vehicles), is currently a 6.5 mile long out-and-back trek with 900 feet of elevation, but it offers numerous connections to other hiking and/or mountain biking trails. It can be accessed from two trailheads: Camden Snow Bowl and Thorndike Brook located at 223 Hope St, Hope. The trail from Thorndike Brook trailhead provides the smoothest surface and most gradual accent for biking or walking. The trail from the Snow Bowl is bumpier and steeper, ascending the mountain along the Kuller Loop.

Goose River Trail Network

A 6 mile network of winding single track that offers technical but flatter and more moderate riding. Access trails from the Camden Snow Bowl via the difficult and difficult G% trail or bike along Barnestown Rd. to the Rollins Rd. trailhead. All Goose River trails are open to pedestrians. Coastal Mountains Land Trust manages the Goose River trails in partnership with MCNEMBA (Midcoast Chapter of New England Mountain Biking Association).

Maine Gravity Race Series

Three venues. Three weekends. One champion.

The Maine Gravity Series brought together three of Maine’s most exciting mountain bike destinations for an inaugural enduro-style race series unlike anything the state has seen. Congratulations to all the riders and a big thank you to all the volunteers who made this event a huge success!

The Series

Race One: Sugarloaf Bike Park

Saturday, August 15 & Sunday, August 16 Carrabassett Valley, Maine

Kick off the series at Sugarloaf Bike Park, where big vertical and a burly trail network meet some of Maine's newest excavated flow terrain.

Expect sustained, technical riding alongside freshly shaped lines built for speed—a course mix that rewards both the calculated and the committed.

It's a worthy opening chapter for the series. This race will include both lift access & pedal transfers as part of the course.

Registration at sugarloaf.com

Race Two: Enduro Cross at Camden Snow Bowl

Saturday, August 29 & Sunday, August 30, Camden, Maine

The Enduro Cross at Camden Snowbowl is an all-new event format debuting as part of the Maine Gravity Series.

Camden's trail network brings a completely different feel to the series, offering technical and creative lines. This session is not to be missed.

This race will not have lift access and includes pedal transfers only.

Race Three: Mt. Abram Grand Finale

Saturday, September 19 & Sunday, September 20, Greenwood, Maine

The series comes home to Mt. Abram for the grand finale.

This is where the leaderboard is settled, and the inaugural Maine Gravity Series champions are named. Arrive with points to defend, rivalries to settle, or simply a great weekend of riding ahead of you.

This race will include both lift access & pedal transfers as part of the course.
