Come Play in the Dirt

Spawned from dirtbag daydreams, Trail Labs is a group of likeminded folks experimenting in all things trail. Trail Labs mission is to enable a quality and enjoyable trail experience.

Trail Labs HQ offers a small carry out cafe with easy to grab cafe items that would just as easily go with a cup of coffee on the porch as they would fit in a jersey pocket on a ride. Hang out and lounge in the beer garden post ride with views of Timberline, Whitegrass, and Canaan Valley Resorts.
