WHY? All the parks in our area rely heavily on volunteer efforts to maintain the trails. A few hours of work from you will ensure that trails stay open and fun for everyone. You can also learn about trail building and maintenance techniques, scope out new places to ride and meet cool people. Hours worked in the spring and fall series will count toward MOREs annual 20-20-20 Awards, which recognize those who put in over 20 hours of work and also support both MORE and the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) with their $20 membership dues. The 20-20-20 Awards include some great bike gear and discounts. Plus, you could be eligible to win a new frame or bike! Stay tuned as we will be announcing these and other prizes soon on the MORE website www.more-mtb.org.
WHAT? Bring work boots or sturdy shoes, work gloves (an old pair of cycling gloves will do), plenty of water, and lunch or a snack. MORE and local land managers will supply the tools, but feel free to bring your personal favorite (shovel, pick, metal rake, hand saw, etc.). Well also have a stash of Clif Bars on hand, thanks to IMBA and Clif Bar!
WHEN? Check the dates below for your favorite park or trail and mark your calendar NOW! Be sure to double-check the MORE website www.more-mtb.org or rideline (703-502-0359) for last-minute schedule changes, or call the contact person listed below. Unless otherwise noted, all workdays begin at 9:30 AM.
