Downhill mountain bike trails at Walden's Ridge

Dear Friends and Family-

Ever since I was little, my Dad and I have loved mountain biking the amazing trails around Chattanooga. For my senior project, I want to invite you to join me in raising money in his honor to donate towards the new downhill trails that are about to open on Signal Mountain's Walden's Ridge. Specifically, these funds will go towards ongoing trail maintenance once the trails are open to the public in a few months.

As described on the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association website, Walden’s Ridge is going to revolutionize Chattanooga mountain biking. "Chattanooga’s backyard currently has over 100 miles of existing singletrack……and it’s about to get a whole lot better. The 200-acre Walden Ridge Park will offer the community an additional 8 to 12 miles of gravity-oriented MTB trails with 800 feet of elevation loss, for beginner to expert riders. You can certainly expect gravity-fed features, rock rolls, flowing singletrack, and the ability for you to shuttle it, or grind back to the top in the “granny gear” if you so choose."

I am seeking to raise $10,000 towards this goal and have secured three donors who have already contributed a combined $5,000.

Thanks in advance for contributing to this cause which means so much to me. I am hoping to surprise my Dad at Thanksgiving with this donation, and any amount will help create an impact.

Thanks so much for your consideration-

Jack Hunt
