WHY? All the parks in our area rely heavily on volunteer efforts to maintain the trails. A hot, rainy summer means that most trails have taken a beating and need some TLC. A few hours of work from you will ensure that your favorite trails stay open and fun for everyone. You can also learn about trail building and maintenance techniques, scope out new places to ride and meet cool people. Hours worked in the spring and fall series will count toward MORE’s annual 20-20-20 Awards, which recognize those who put in over 20 hours of work and also support both MORE and the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) with their $20 membership dues. The 20-20-20 Awards include some great bike gear and discounts. Plus, you could be eligible to win a new frame or bike!
