*Bring your bike: wanna see how your work went? Go for a ride after trailwork! Most work scope will just involve walking to the work site. We may have some work scope that we’ll want to ride to but that will be optional. If you bring a bike be prepared to secure it at the staging area during the trail work. Trail work will end around by 1:00 pm and you can get a ride in afterwards if you like.

Significant rain cancels and we’ll send a notice if that’s the case.
