What:
Sulphur Springs XC Trail Work Day – SC State Parks sponsored by REI Greenville (Recreational Equipment Incorporated
When:
Saturday, January 7th
Start: 9:00 a.m.
Stop: 2:00 p.m. (approx.) or as long as you wish to stay
Where:
Paris Mountain State Park, 2401 State Park RD, Greenville, SC 29609.
Vehicle/Participant Parking: at the new parking lot at the top of the mountain on the left just past the trailhead.
What’s in it for you?:
- If you had a good time at the DH race a few weeks ago and want to see it return, then this is the first necessary step in ensuring that the park allows us to hold the SC DH State Championships in 2012 on the mountain.
- For those that enjoy the XC trails at the park this offers a safer option to climb to the top of the mountain as opposed to the current route of climbing the paved route and sharing that route with vehicle traffic. This new trail will start/end at the Archery parking lot and work its way up the mountain ending at the top of the mountain just past the trailhead/parking lot on the right side of the road.
- Feel good by contributing to the creation and maintenance of the Paris Mountain Trail System… a lot of work goes in keeping the trails active of which we each like to enjoy as bikers and/or hikers.
Who else is going to be there lending a hand?:
- GE Employees
- REI GVL Employees
- Local Bike Enthusiasts – YOU!
- Park Management Staff
- Team Billy Goat Bikes – Mountain Khakis
- The more the marrier!
What do you need to bring?:
- A rested good spirit ready to get your hands dirty. No prior trail building experience is required.
- Warm Clothes/Gloves, it will likely be a little chilly

What will be provided?:
