Date:  July 12

Location:  Station Flats Parking Lot [45 minutes SW of Calgary, ~10 minutes from Bragg Creek on Hwy 66]

About:

All geared up and ready to work!Hot on the heels of our incredibly successful Bowmont build, we have our next trail building night this Monday!  The trail building nights are great for when you have an evening free to do some building, or don't have time for a full day.  In fact, some of our best work has been done on Monday nights!  Usually these groups are a little bit smaller and less formal.  We work for about 2 to 3 hours on a trail close to the parking lot.

Details:

This night we will finish off a small reroute on the new Ridgeback trail and open it to the public.  The trail it replaces will also be reclaimed.  These are always exciting times when we open new trail!

Ridgeback trail is broken up into four different sections that intertwine with Tom Snow trail.  We will be working on the end of section 1 (around the purple dot on the map).  This is about 1.0 to 1.5 KM from the parking lot.  We will be walking from the parking lot to the work site.

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 June, 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

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

So come on out to our third 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 Monday!
