When: Sunday, June 21, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.  Please try to be on time.  This event goes rain or shine!  If you're running late, just go directly to the work site.

Where: Meet at the Station Flats parking area [click for map].  From there we will walk Northeast ~1km to the actual work site, just beyond the intersection of Diamond T and Tom Snow. 

What We'll Be Doing:  This will be the first of the trails that will become the bypass route for most of Tom Snow.  The plan is to build singletrack trail through the woods.  That sounds like fun!

Why:  After years and years of riding through the mix of mud and cow poop that develops on Tom Snow every year, we'll have an alternate route.

What to Bring:  We'll be in the woods, so wear appropriate clothing.  We recommend sturdy work boots or hiking boots, work gloves, long pants and a jacket.  Dress for the weather.  Bring enough water for the day and some lunch.  Remember - anything you pack in, you also need to pack out, including any recyclables or trash.  CMBA will be providing some tools, but if you have a favourite chainsaw, mattock, Pulaski, rake or Mcleod, feel free to bring it.  Shovels will not be needed.

Who:  Trail Building Lead for the day is Rob Irwin.  Rob will be Big Boss for the day, giving the safety/ZoD talk and providing direction.  He will also have waivers.  We'll need a couple of extra Trail Crew Leaders, and we'll be asking for volunteers on Sunday.  You can also volunteer in advance by sending an e-mail to info@cmbalink.com with the subject "Crew Leader", or posting a comment here.

FAQ

Q: Is this legal?

A: Hell yes!  CMBA has a verbal agreement to work on several trail projects in the area, and this is one of them.

Q: Can I bring my bike so I can ride the trail afterwards?

A: Definitely!  If all goes well, the trail should be ready to ride when we're done!

 Q: How many people do you need?

A: The more the merrier, but we'd like to see at least 40 people out.
