Work Day #1

Shred, baby, shred! Gettin’ it done at Gateway Bike Park yesterday. Volunteers rock! Thanks to everybody who came out to help get a ton of work accomplished!

Well it seems like Spring is springing and for sure we have a lot of cleaning to do! Please join us on Saturday March 16 at 10 for the first-ever bike park workday. We're hoping for a big turnout so we can complete multiple tasks before the pros come in to build the features. We need to do a lot of raking, trimming and brush clearing on the jump lines as well as some bench cutting on the loop trail. We'll have the BONC tools but please bring any of your own favorites to supplement them, especially loppers, hand saws and garden rakes or McLeods. If it's a problem for you, please prepare for possible poison oak exposure or plan to work in one of the po-free zones. We'll have Tecnu onsite. Bring basic hydration and snacks. Meet at the dog park area of Western Gateway Park in Penn Valley http://westerngatewaydogpark.org/park-info/maps-2/. Come see the beautiful new bike park site and be a part of history for the first workday! ... See more

You’re probably wondering about Hoot and Scotts. Hoot is about 50% HAB with lots of soft snow patches to stop you in your tracks. Lots of litter and not fun at all. Scotts is rideable. 2 easy to get around blowdowns and lots of litter but all the big limbs tossed off. Things should improve a lot later this week. Please consider taking a small hand saw or loppers if you go ride because there are some minor impediments you could clear with them and thanks! The nu nus on Scotts are a huge improvement as they’re dry and really firmed up. The trail sections they replaced are running like big creeks. Get out! ... See more
