⚒️ TRAIL DAY THIS SATURDAY — Partridge Hills!

The plan is to buff some trails as well as clear any brush to get them ready for riding and some heavier trail work in the fall! Most trails have been well looked after, but lower Watchdog, Guardrail, and Prosperity/Last Car on The Ferry could still us some work. If you regularly ride these trails please consider coming out to lend a hand 🤝

📍 Meet at the Partridge Hills parking lot, top of Willis Point Rd
🕣 8:45am – 1pm
🧤 Snacks, water, and tools provided. Bring weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy boots, and your own gloves if you have them

RSVP to [email protected] so we know numbers!

August 16th Trail Day Recap 🛠️

Big thanks to the 14 volunteers who came out for this weekend's trail day! The crew took on the north end of the Plunge Extension ascent where it connects with the Regional Trail, a section that had slowly become the near-impossible-climb. They armoured the steps that had formed and rerouted the trail away from a low spot that fills with water in the winter.

Over on Skull, the drain pipes got cleaned out and prepped for the fall rains (which aren't far off now!)

None of this happens without people giving up a day to move dirt and rock. Thank you Trail Crew!! 🙌
