PTAG will be working on the trails at Frick this Saturday. Meet at the parking lot by the ballfields near the intersection of English Lane and Beechwood Boulevard, 15217. Bring gloves, water, sturdy boots or shoes, and a smile. We’ll be working the Iron Gate Trail.
Keep your fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate. Right now it looks like a 30% chance of rain for Friday night and Saturday. Tons of rain will cancel the workday. If it rains, check your email at 9am on Saturday morning for an update or call Seth Gernot at 412.606.9318.

Please join us for a day of payback for the great trails we get to enjoy. PTAG and Dirty Harrys will be joining forces with as many volunteers as we can get to tidy up the trails at Boyce Park, one of the premier parks in the county parks system. Well known for exciting and extensive “singletrack” trails, this is your chance to help maintain the trails you ride. PTAG, Pittsburgh Trail Advocacy Group, is Pittsburgh’s primary organization for improving the trails in the Pittsburgh area. Working closely with the County Parks, PTAG has been responsible for organizing many, many hours of work in the parks we all love to ride and hike. Your work will be rewarded with a couple of hours of cruising the park with a cookout to follow. See you there!
