Single track trail and Tot Lot at C.C. January 9th, 2010

[Metal Twister 0]

With all the trails being closed we actually have the opportunity to help build some new ones!

I received a call this morning from Richard Tull, CC park ranger in charge. This Saturday January 9 at 9:30 am work will start on new 4x4 trail #11, The Motorcycle Tot Lot, And the motorcycle single track trail the length of the park. It is all marked out and ready to be cleared and groomed. Richard needs volunteer manpower. Tools and instruction will be provided. We need to bring safety glasses of some type, gloves, water, and lunch. It dosnt sound like very heavy work just grooming and cutting some brand new trails. Its our park and we have a golden opportunity to improve it considerably. I volunteered SCUFF to work on the 4x4 trail 11 if you would like to join us it would be appreciated. This is a golden opportunity for SDAR to help build the new two wheel trails. If you can make it please post up so we know how many to expect. Meet at 9:00 sharp at four corners parking area for the pre work briefing. Hope to see everyone there for a great day of work.

I'm a definite possibility.....how's that for a flimsy commitment ......need to see what kathy has on the home agenda (besides taking down the Christmas "stuff")

i'll be there with some loppers and a weed wacker if I can work on the single track.

[mctrails 38]

I'll plan on being there too.

They are going to be working all 3 areas at one time. Shouldn't be a problem working on the single track at all. If you want to bring the loppers that would be OK, but they have all the tools we will need according to Richard...

I'll be there also., then go to Borrego the next day to layout Desert Dash stuff.

Good to hear that work is finally starting. I wish I could be there but I'll have to work that day. If I can get back in time, I'll be there but as for now ..have fun without me everybody.

Are we going to do our SDAR trail maintenance commitment first, or just work on the single track?

Ken, I talked to Richard Tull......working on this trail will cover the maintenance we did NOT do last year, so we're good. We'll plan 2 days of trail maintenance for our adopted Kiernan Cycle Trail later this year.

I was just out there a week ago. There's nothing to do to it. The trees/bushes are trimmed, there's no ruts to fill, rocks to toss. I guess we could just get together, walk the trail and have few cold ones?

If OUR trail is in good shape, then we can just ride it with some plastic bags and pick up any trash we see. But, of course when doing this, it must go through the paperwork process so it's "official".

Does anyone know if we can work on this trail on other days ?

[650hucker 0]

I'll try to make it out there. I'll know later in the week.

[Spaugh 1]

can anyone check with the gentleman organizing this if we can clear trail 7 also? Its been closed for a while and just needs some trimming to be rideable again. thanks in advance.

Wow, an opprotunity to indulge myself in some good 'ol chain gang labor. I'll check my schedule and clear it through the warden. I'd like to help out. Were is the meeting place exactly?? I can get to 4 corners or the pine valley exit culdesac with ease. Anything else may require further directions.

Are they going to have permission forms there, or should we download them and bring them with us? Also don't forget you need your adventure pass for parking. Ken

[dsfox 0]

I should be able to be there...

sorry if silly questions....do we need to have a bike to get to and from trails we are working on or does that look like we're not serious aobut working etc?....and also, when work is done will there be time to ride?...

this will bring back memories of surveying in new england and cutting line everywhere we wanted to go....I actually enjoyed that....except in long days of rain or snow....(why I hate the rain)

[Jaynen 0]

any idea how late we would be working?

[KTMrad 513]

I cleared my schedule for Saturday, and I'll bring some extra gloves and glasses for anyone who forgets or can't come up with some. I'll check back for a meeting place.

Do we just show up at the CC parking lot at 0930 FRI? I'd like to put the word out

to the guys I ride with.

Thanks!

EDIT- Oops, I see that's SAT, not FRI....

Sorry I can't make the trail grooming party. But I will be dreaming of being there while I tile my shower and bathroom floor.

CRAP... I spaced the meeting. I really planned on going too. Sorry

Hope you all have a great time

Most likely need to sign a volunteer agreement like we did before. Might be a good idea to print and fill out ahead of time.
