670 Collective MTB Club

670 Collective MTB Club Alberta's best kept secret in mountain bike riding.

670 Collective Mountain Bike Club is a registered non-profit, volunteer-run organization affiliated with the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA). Located in the beautiful Canadian Badlands, we are the voice of the off-road cycling community in and around Medicine Hat, Alberta. Our hard working members not only design, build, and maintain sustainable trails in the Cypress Hills Interprov

incial Park and South Saskatchewan River Valley, but we are also the initiators of the Redcliff Bike Skills Park. Rewarded with one of the longest riding seasons in the country, local mountain bikers ride two distinctive landscapes within an hour of each other making it an exciting and unique riding destination. 670 Collective riders race across western Canada and the US, collect and fix bikes for underprivileged kids, travel abroad to other popular riding locations and are the organizers of the Battle Creek Showdown, a fun weekend of mountain bike racing and live music in Elkwater.

Hey here is your weekly trail report!

All the trails everywhere are wet. That is all.

But for real, we’ve received a lot of rain over the last week and things are pretty wet out there. Elkwater is a bit water logged, have a look at what has updated about life in the park.
In Redcliff we’ve had another “do it yourself” feature modification halfway down Dial Pack. It’s reported the jumps are riding a bit dangerous as a result. Please use caution and we’ll try to get a crew out in the next week hopefully to fix them up.
Medicine Hat has a lot of soft areas and some mud in the lower parts of the trails. Hopefully between the warm weather today (before we got more rain this evening) and a warm day tomorrow they will dry up enough for the Badlands Bash scheduled for Saturday. Watch and as they’ll make the call on Friday with both rider and trail safety in mind.

Happy riding!

Good evening ! Here is your weekly trail report.

Redcliff - Both bridges on Death Valley are in need of some love at the entrances. Seems the rain last week has eroded them a bit. Danger Noodle sighting are increasing with the warm weather. One of our newly minted Trail Ambassadors was gracious enough to lead a father/daughter duo out of the valley after they were found admiring an adult Noodle. Lumpy Gravy is gonna need a haircut soon.

Elkwater - Everything is riding great and has been working out to make sure that happens. Club group ride last night hit the loop that will forever be known as “The BCS loop that wasn’t” and it was great. One freshly downed tree on the climb.

Medicine Hat - Two other club rides took to Gas City this week for some fresh and fast laps. All trails are reported as running tight and clean.

A lot of wet in the forecast for the next week so conditions can change quickly with what’s expected.

Keep an eye out for our new Trail Ambassadors from the club sporting the bright green shirts! If you need some directions or trail info they’re happy to help out!

Just over one week away from Badlands Bash hosted by and ! It’s sure to be a wicked day on the trails!

Happy riding!

Hey ! It’s time to get ready for the Spring Ride & Social event!

Saturday 13 June 26! Sponsored by !

We’ll kick things off with a group ride from the Elkwater Visitor Center at 15:00 sharp!

When the ride is done you’ll be hungry, so we’re having a potluck supper! Gravity is supplying the main protein, we ask everyone to bring a group side of your choosing, or more protein. You can never have too much protein. Also, bring your own beverages, adult or otherwise.

Gravity has also reserved the main group campsite so bring your tent and stay the night. Especially if you’re indulging in some post ride adult beverages. Did someone say late night smores?

Hope to see you all there!

Hey here is your weekly trail report!

The long weekend snow followed by some rain this week have given the vegetation around Echodale and Gas City a boost. Nothing is crazy yet but the lower part of Coker is spouting up. It’s also helped keep the dust down and you may find a puddle or two out there today.

Elkwater is a different story. The precipitation has made many of the trails soft which has lead to some riders leaving some noticeable ruts on the trails. Nothing is “closed” however the folks out there and recommend giving it a few days to dry out to prevent damage. If you find yourself in an area that has you sinking in a bit and leaving big tracks please slow down and consider an alternate route.

Recliff may have you finding a bit of muddy spots on the lower trails but that should dry up quickly with the forecast ahead.

Don’t forget, ladies ride tonight @ 6:30 rolling from Gas City. Also, get your rides in and collect your stickers from with their 2026 Trail Challenge!

2 weeks away from Badlands Bash hosted by & .

Be sure to enjoy the Balloon views around town this weekend!

Hey ! Here is your long weekend trail report.

has had a busy week clearing up downed trees on the remainder of Elkwater trails. Most lines should be flowing smoothly however the big wind today could create some new obstacles. Be aware Canadiana will have some upgrades throughout the year so may be closed at times.

Big shout out to the amazing team for the work they’ve done in Redcliff this week and throughout the early season. Those kids shred hard and work harder to help keep the local trails in amazing shape! Redcliff is in better shape than it was last week because of them.

In Medicine Hat Gas City and Echodale are still riding tight. The rain this weekend may see a quick increase in vegetation so let us know if something pops up needing attention.

The warmer weather has increased wildlife activity everywhere and there have been a few Danger Noodle sightings in Redcliff and around Gas City campground but no direct interactions. Keep an eye out as activity increase with the warmer weather.

If you’re looking for some long weekend activity off the bike check out Conquer the Coulee obstacle course on Saturday or their Trail Run on Sunday!

Happy riding!

Hey here is your weekly trail report!

Mr. Burnside from Medicine Hat into Redcliff is flowing fresh and fast! If you’re looking to build your cross country pedal legs back loop it with Smithers for some fast, low technical burden km’s. There are a few low hanging branches on Smithers to be aware of. The evening air along Tequila Sunrise can’t be beat!

Gas City and Echodale have no changes from last week, all is good! We haven’t gotten out to deal with that altered feature on Steam Nut yet so please still use caution.

Elkwater, well it’s open! Well not everything. The park side is mostly with the exception of a few trails, and the ski hill side is still closed. See for more details.

Don’t forget, if you’re out in Cypress Hills Provincial Park this weekend the Medicine Hat Massacre Adventure Race put on by SEASTAR will be underway.
