About:

This is our LAST CMBA Trail Day for the year, October 8th, and it's in Fish Creek, Calgary!  Come out on Thanksgiving weekend and give thanks by helping make our local trails better!

Details:

Fish Creek was hit hard with rain in June, and we are on the job to fix the damaged trails!  A number of sections of trail along the creek edge were washed away and flooded out.  We will be working on the last major fix needed for the north east trails in west Fish Creek. 

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 10:00 a.m., so please be on time. We'll be back at the parking lot by 3:30. As trail building work can be energy consuming, do bring water plus a snack or lunch to eat while out on the trail. We'll be holding a BBQ in the parking lot afterwards to celebrate all your hard work.

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 October, and it can suddenly start raining or get cold fast)
• 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 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 Saturday!
