    We’re at the base of Meow Mix, a freeride mountain bike trail that drops off a logging road above the west side of Marshall Creek. Donovan Power, an avid Missoula freerider, offered to take me out for a look at how extreme this side of the sport can be. Meow Mix was a legend in the local bike community 10 years ago. Adrenaline junkies came here for a wickedly challenging ride, one that tested brakes, reflexes and suspension. The U.S. Forest Service referred to it as a “hot spot” among freeriders in its 2009 annual report on the Rattlesnake National Wilderness and Recreation Area. The agency’s report also classified Meow Mix as a user created non-system trail. That’s the long way of saying “illegal.”
