Heading out on Saturday morning (11/11 between 9-1) to work on two new re-routes and a new section of trail.  Both of these are at or near the entrance of the trail. I have flagged and done some preliminary clearing, now need to finish clearing and start doing the finishing cut. If you want to help or provide some input in the trail before it is finalized come on by.  I will have tools (unless you like using your own), so you just need gloves and water.  Long pants and shirts also recommended since the trails are still in their beginning stages.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.   

One of the local Belmont boy scout troops (Troop 56)  will be getting some service hours by lending a hand with some trail upkeep this Saturday (12/7) from 11:30 to 2:00.    We are always open to more help.  If you would like to come out and help too and help show the scouts how great trail is maintained, come on out. I will be out there earlier (9:00 ish) working on a new beginning section.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.

Due you mean 12/16?

BIG SHOUT OUT TO GASTON COMPOSITE NICA TEAM!

They came out and did some great work helping to rebuild some berms that were in need of a lot of dirt.  Big thank you to all the NICA racers and the adults who helped guide (and worked pretty hard too) them.  I can't wait to get out and try the berms out.

Kudos to the Gaston Composite Leaders for setting up the service time and allowing the kids to assist in maintaining the trails at RBP.   

Here are a few pictures of their completed work.

Big Thanks  to Mike, Alberto and Hank for helping out Saturday. 
Heading back out again (weather permitting) this Saturday (and most likely Sunday) morning (2/10/18 and 2/11/18) between 9:00-2:00, to continue work on new Ravine Loop (advance loop off of SWC Extension).  Will meet at the top of the power climb (will leave map the entrance showing where we are working for those not familiar with trail). 

I have flagged and done some preliminary clearing, now need to finish clearing and start doing the finishing cut. If you want to help or provide some input in the trail before it is finalized come on by.  I will have tools (unless you like using your own), so you just need gloves and water.  Suggested Dress: In layers.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.

Thanks to those that came out last week to lend a hand.   And thanks to those that came out last night to help provide some guidance in how we can make this loop a lot more exciting. 
 
I plan to be out there this weekend (9 to 2) working on the new loop.  If you would like to help or see what is planned come on out.  Once again the new loop is at the top of the power climb in the ravine.

Where:  Rocky Branch Trail, Main entrance
Time: 5/5 8:00 to 2:00 5/6 10:00 to 2:00

Hope to see you out there so we make the trail shine for the race.

As always, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.

In case you were wondering where all the dirt went, it allowed us to build some cool berms and tables (all shaped, packed and ready to ride).  See attached pictures.  

Now on to the next project (yes there is always something to do in the woods).

I will be out this Saturday (6/30/18 from 8:00 to 1:00) working on a new creek crossing and bridge.  If you would like to come out and help that is always great.  From the main entrance just follow the right-away to the creek crossing and you will find me working there.  Bring boots (we will be working in the creek) bug spray and water (to drink).

Hope to see you there.
