When: Saturday, September 12, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.  Please try to be on time.  This event goes rain or shine [within reason]!  If you're running late, just go directly to the work site.  After the work is done, we'll be firing up the BBQ and having some hot eats and cold treats!!

Where: Meet at the Station Flats parking area [click for map].  From there we will ride [or walk] up Tom Snow to the actual work site, just before the second bridge.

What We'll Be Doing:  This is the second trail that will become the bypass route for much of Tom Snow.  We'll be doing a fair bit of heavy work, including clearing a lot of deadfall and roughing in the trail.  By the end of the day, we hope to link two sections of trail together.

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 alternate routes.

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.

FAQ

Q: Is this legal?

A: Hell yes!  The CMBA has TFA 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!  It will make it easier/faster to get to the work site.

 Q: How many people do you need?

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