COMBO News

COMBO is proud to announce a new partnership with the Franklin county Metro-Parks. This new partnership will allow MTB trails to be built at Three Creeks Metro Park in Groveport as well as Batelle - Darby or Prairie Oaks Metro-Parks in West Jefferson. The Deputy Director Larry Peck has seen how well the process can work at areas like MOMBA and has accepted our proposal to design and build trails in Franklin County. We will also have special event priviledges to ride in Metro-parks such as Clear Creek and others for fund raisers or group rides. COMBO is also in talks with Alum creek for further expansion of the current trail systems. The Ohio State Parks are interested in making all State Parks self sustainable. That means bringing in users to use the campground. To do that Ohio's parks will need more than 25 miles of MTB trails. We are in talks with several state parks in the area for trail expansions. Now is a great time to join or volunteer with COMBO. Look for a new beginner trail at Alum Creek this spring that will be longer and easier for those that just bought a bike and are ready to hit the dirt.
