Elm Creek Mountain Bike Trail in Maple Grove, is a finalist for a $100,000 grant from Bell Helmets to build a Pump Track/Bike Park. This would be built
on the 1.4 acre parcel of land that is across the parking lot from the existing mtn bike singletrack trailhead.
This brings a huge spotlight...
UPDATE: I just ordered the Corksport Mud Guards: https://www.corksport.com/corksport-mazda-mud-flap-set.html
I probably should have gotten them before winter but oh well.
Once I get them installed, I will post pics.

Yup, I'll eat my previous words... :) and change my opinion. I think that will look pretty nice. I look forward to seeing the finished project!
How do you plan to make a mirror image of that part for the other side?
New winter wheels on the Mz3. Blizzak WS70s on 5-spoke alloys. Thanks Shawn! I think I like the look of them better than my stock wheels. :)
(probably should have washed the car first, oh well)
The Blizzak WS70s are on my radar since they are good for snow and ice. I do like the price of the General Altimax Arctics but heard they aren't so great on ice.
I have been happy with my Skull Candy Chops. Ear buds never seem to want to stay in my ears, especially if I am working out while listening to music. The Chops wrap the back of the ear to stop them from falling off/out. They are relatively inexpensive too.
Found out that the Winter iPike 409(?) has been discontinued due to the 2013 version coming out... but they have not release it yet so retailers are just waiting. I'm still considering the General Altimax, based on price, but I know the Blizzak will preform better on ice.

It's that time of season and I'm in the market for some new winter treads. I'm interested in getting some info from all of you. If you could help me out, I'd really appreciate it!
1. What tires do you run in the winter?
2. What do you like and dislike about them?
3. What tires have you had...
