As promised, here are a few photos from Saturday's ride, but first...

Thanks to the volunteers: Michelle, Dave, Olivier, Andrew, Chris, Kim, Don and Richard. Y'all did a great job.

Thanks to Gord for posting the event up on the COC website.

Thanks to our sponsors for providing prizes: 

Sidewalk Citizen Bakery - Aviv's scones were a big hit! Seriously, if you haven't tried his artisan bread delivered to you downtown every Tuesday, you are missing out. 

TransRockies - Jerseys and DVDs!

Bow Cycle - thanks for the swag!

Cyclepath - we appreciate the goodies!

 The fixes on R2 [Ridgeback, section 2] are proceeding.  We're berming corners:

Our first ever Sunday trail day went off on one of Calgary's hottest days of the year! With gorgeous weather and lots of trail needing love and attention, 25+ volunteers took part in one of our best trail days ever. A reroute around a major muddy section on Ridgeback is now complete thanks to their hard working and dedicated effort.  Expect to see the muddy section closed very soon.

Special thanks goes out to the Calgary Outdoor Club for supplying many of the day's volunteers, with a special thanks to COC's Michelle for doing all the BBQing and wrangling up a set of BBQ tongs at the last second.

Jose Quiroz was on hand to shoot a bunch of photos (below).

We hope to see people at our next volunteer trail event this coming Monday evening, July 25th, in Fish Creek.  Details will be posted soon!
