"Winterize" North Meck Park Sunday Nov. 15th

All of us in the northern towns (and maybe folks in Charlotte too) love North Meck Park because it's fun... Smiley but also because it normally drains really well and we can ride the trail relatively soon after a rain.  Let's all do our part to keep it that way.  We will be working to clear drains and address low spots on the trail that will collect water from 9am -12pm this Sunday November 15.  We all know that it's going to be a long wet El Nino winter, so hopefully we can get the trail running right so we can get rides in this winter.

Bring some water and maybe a snack.  Please arrive on time because I'll be anxious to get to work!  We will split into groups to tackle different sections of the trail.  If you arrive late just walk into the trail and I'm sure you'll find us.  I have a good bit of tools but please bring tools if you have them (rakes, picks, shovels, a wheel barrow would be nice too).  See you then!

Will

We had a great turnout Sunday morning.  Thanks to Tracy, Jerry, Jeff, Jake P (The Punisher), Jennifer, Devon, and the guy that Jerry brought (forgot your name).  Many of the drains were cleared, a bit of leaf removal was done, and two berms got built  Wink .  A total of 24 man and woman hours was put in between the 8 of us.   

If you didn't make it out I'll most likely be having another drain clearing workday after all of the leaves have fallen to make sure we are fully prepared for for the wet winter.  If the next drain work day goes anything like this one, we will probably end up with a couple more berms and fun features being built too!

See you on the trails!

Got some great feedback from a customer today!  Said N. Meck looked great and thanked everyone he saw working out there on Sunday!

Great work, everyone!   Smiley Smiley Smiley
