Bavington Workday This Sunday!!!!!!! 3-21

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

From the PORC Forums:

All Bavington trails were severely impacted by the heavy snow. Most trails have a large tree down every 100 yards or so in addition to numerous smaller trees and branches. A few highly dedicated volunteers have managed to clear roughly a third of the trails at Bavington to this point but, your assistance is greatly needed. If you are available, please try give us a hand this Sunday. We have lots of clearing work to do before the park is rideable.

Meet 10:00AM at the Five Points Parking Area
Bring saws. Bow saws especially. (But no saw is just fine!)
We’ll be walking and cutting the many fallen trees that are blocking the trails
Wear boots and bring your own sturdy gloves, safety eyewear, food and water.

See you there!

At 10:00 AM I am meeting some folks over at the Pie Traynor Lot in North Park to investigate/discuss the future improvements of the infamous Dr. J freeride trail. This is supposed to take a couple of hours at which point I/We will probably either ride in North Park or maybe Hartwood Acres – possibly on little bikes (technical log riding and whatnot).

Meet: at Thick Bikes if you would like to carpool over to North Park
Time: 9:15 AM
