About:

CMBA Trail Day #6 is Saturday, August 21^st!  Come on out  for a day of dirt digging, plus a post-work BBQ and beverages [compliments of your friendly neighborhood CMBA].

Details:

We will be working on a variety of maintenance tasks to help with water drainage around a wet section on the Ridgeback trail.  We will be working near the start of section 2 (around the purple dot on the map).  This is about 1.5 km from the Station Flats parking lot.  We will be walking from the parking lot to the work site.  

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 10AM, so please be on time.  We will work through to 3PM and then head back to the parking for a BBQ and post-work relax-a-thon.  As trail building work is 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!  Flip-flops don't work well without toes...)
• 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, which sucks 'cause it's August)
• 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 sixth trail building day 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 Saturday!
