A South Side nonprofit is raising money to build eight mountain bike trails in Big Marsh Park so Chicagoans can learn how to tackle mountain biking without leaving the city. trib.al/JwZihIj

Thanks @BlockClubCHI and @afrodip for the great coverage of our Big Future, Big Hill campaign! blockclubchicago.org/2024/01/17/big…

We had a surprisingly warm week this November. Before the weather changes, check out @bigmarshchicago Bike Park and the newly built Ford Calumet Environmental Center. It's one of the best parks on the South Side. #OuterbeltTrail #OuterbeltAlliance

Went to Big Marsh (@bigmarshchicago) today with the kiddo and spent 4+ hours on the various bike trails. Wow, what an a-m-a-z-i-n-g resource for the people of Chicago.

We just launched our new fundraising campaign to build over a mile of feature-rich, gravity-fed mountain bike trails on the Southeast Side of Chicago: Mightycause.com/bigfuturebighi…
