Do something positive for trails in your area. Help out on a trail that is actually legal to bike, and try to keep it that way. Here is your chance to stop bitching and do something.
Offical Invitation:
Trailworkers,
On Sunday, November 28th we continue our yearly trail work in the Soquel
Demonstration State Forest. We have all been hiking and riding the trails
all year and this is our chance to show our appreciation to the California
Department of Forestry for being able to share these trails.
We are meeting at the parking lot on Highland, across the steel bridge at
8:30 AM on Sunday, November 28th. Our objective for the day is to complete
construction of a new trail alignment that will bypass the steep hike up
section at the end of the Ridge Trail. We will shuttle workers from the
parking lot on Highland to the bottom of Tractor Trail; workers will then
hike in to the work site. Depending on conditions, some trailworkers may
skip the shuttle and elect to ride to the trailwork site. Bring your bike
if you want to ride. Bob trailers will be provided.
You should bring long pants and sleeves, plenty of water, and lunch or a
snack you can carry with you on the trail. I will bring work gloves to
loan if you have none. The Stewards of Soquel Forest will provide coffee
and something for your sweet tooth. Our start time is 9:00am, and will
work until 2:00 or so. From there, some will go for a ride, and others
will stay and clean tools.
Please sign up at www.trailworkers.com so I know how many tools to
bring, or email Nigel at nigel.ray@durect.com if you have any
questions. Our work schedule for the year has been posted to the
Trailworkers website, so if you cannot make this weekend, you should go
there and sign up for another day instead.
IMBA's rule of thumb is to give 20/20/20 each year, referring to local
member dues, national member dues, and hours in the field making the
outdoors a better experience for everyone. This is your opportunity to add
a few hours toward completing your annual trailwork requirements.
