MORE 2006 Fall Trail Work Series
Sponsored by The Bike Lane (http://www.thebikelane.com)
WHY? All the parks in our area rely heavily on volunteer efforts to maintain the trails. A long summer of use by bikers, hikers and equestrians means that most trails 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 fun people. Hours worked in the spring and fall series will count toward MORE’s annual trail work 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 paid membership. The awards include some great bike gear and discounts. Plus, you could be eligible to win a new frame or bike! Stay tuned as we will be announcing these and other prizes soon on the MORE website www.more-mtb.org.
WHAT? Bring work boots or sturdy shoes, work gloves (an old pair of cycling gloves will do), plenty of water, and lunch or a snack. MORE and local land managers will supply the tools, but feel free to bring your personal favorite (shovel, pick, metal rake, hand saw, etc.). We’ll also have a stash of Clif Bars on hand, thanks to IMBA and Clif Bar! Some workdays will have lunch donated so we encourage volunteers to RSVP to the work day contact in order to plan for food, tools, supplies, and in case of last minute changes.
WHEN? Check the dates below for your favorite park or trail and mark your calendar NOW! Be sure to double-check the MORE website www.more-mtb.org or rideline (703-502-0359) for last-minute schedule changes, or call the contact person listed below. Unless otherwise noted, all workdays begin at 9:30 AM.
