About:

Wow!  If anyone was near Fish Creek Monday night, then you saw the flash hail storm that blew through and all the crazy floods pouring out onto the streets!  Our fearless trail crew got caught right in the middle of that just as they got down to work!  Needless to say, they called it quits and ran for cover!

This is July?!?!

So, to finish off the work they started, we are planning for a redo of this event.  Everything is the same as last time, except that we will meet on Tuesday, August 3rd.  Fish Creek can use a volunteer's helping hand, so come on out, shape some trails, and have some fun!

All geared up and ready to work!Details:

We are working on formalizing a new trail to complete one of the many single track loops now available in the park.  

No experience at trail building is necessary!  There will be plenty of experienced and trained Crew Leaders in attendance who you will be grouped with.  They will teach and guide you while you craft that perfect single track trail.

We like to get started promptly at 6:30PM, so please be on time.  We will work for about 2 to 3 hours and then head back to the parking area.  As trail building work can be energy consuming, do bring water plus a snack or lunch to eat while out on the trail.

Be sure to bring/wear the following:

  • Good sturdy work boots or hiking boots (no sandals or open toe shoes!)
  • Work gloves (though we do have a number of extra if you need them)
  • Eye protection (safety or sports sun glasses)
  • Jacket that is wet weather resistant (it is August, but it can suddenly start raining or get cold fast; we aren't kidding)
  • Long pants
  • Bug spray and sun screen
  • Water to drink and a snack to eat while out on the trail

We have plenty of pro-quality tools for everyone to use.

So come on out to our forth (redux) trail building night of the year, meet some new people (and maybe old friends), have some fun, and help shape the trails that we all love to ride!  We'll see you this Tuesday!
