To start off we would like to thank all of you that volunteered in the year 2011, without you the trails would not be what they are today. As always we will continue to have our volunteer apreciation days on the second Sunday of the month, so please come on out and lend us a hand.
We have had many memorable experiences this past year, and we have some more crazy times planned for the upcoming year. Many of you loyal riders asked that trail maintenance be changed to Sundays and that is just what we are going to do, starting January 8, 2012.
Trail maintenance days are also going to be changing format; we will try to tackle major projects on a monthly basis in order to open up at least 2 more trails by June which should bring the total miles at the park closer to 5 miles. Hopefully by December 2012 we plan to add another two trails which will also increase the awesomeness of your park. So our lofty goals are 4 more trails by the end of 2012, with your help we will be able to achieve this!
With that said, you are all invited to our first trail maintenance of the year on January 8th 2012; we will have food, music and tools! This first trail maintenance will be to open up a new intermediate trail, if we can have large enough crew out there we can have this trail opened up in as few as 2-4 maintenance days. So come on out and support your trails.
You will also start seeing a couple of new features at the park, namely strategic seating and other picnic areas throughout the trails; we hope to foster a greater enjoyment of the trails by all users. Some of the proposed improvements include bringing in some native shade trees and adding seating and relaxation areas throughout the park.
Another important item is that club dues for the year 2012 will be… due… so if you would like to continue benefiting from the group rides, the moonlight rides, club BBQ’s and other activities that we offer please sign up for this coming year.
As always if you would like to donate either your time please come on by Sundays at 10am starting January 8th. If you have building materials that you would like to donate we will pay for gas and tolls, or we can try to pick up any supplies that you may have lying around.
