Mtb Singletrack Trail work party at L.L. Stub State Park

FIRST scheduled work party for 2010 trail building series of events to be hosted by Northwest Trail Alliance at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park.  A list of all Spring 2010 NWTA scheduled build days at Stub is posted to the Project Updates message forum.

Special bonus!... besides the points you'l earn towards the NWTA end of year raffle, we'll also be doing a raffle at the build day just for those attending this volunteer event.  For those who would like to stick around after the volunteer work is done, there will also be a BBQ back at a campsite in the park (email joer at nw-trail.org if interested).

Volunteer trail work in singletrack area for XC trail is under guidance of John Joy and Joe Rykowski as co-trail stewards in collaboration with Ranger Steve Kruger as the Oregon Parks & Recreation Department trail manager at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park.

We'll be focused on tasks on the upper (north) trail loop in mountain biking area of the park in an effort to complete construction so that park can open this area at some point during Summer (note that we're targeting May 29/30 as a special build/camp/ride weekend event with expectation that it'd be an event for builders who have helped over past several years with construction of the trails -- hopefully, this could also be the weekend when a "ribbon cutting" ceremony could also be planned).   Mostly, it depends on how many volunteers attend the planned trail build days... whether we'll accomplish all tasks in that timeframe.   In other words, it's on us, the volunteer trail builders to step up and dig in...  building trail that was designed for mountain biking by mountain bikers is the best feeling in the world!  Come on out and join us if you have been putting it off.

Nobody has contacted me about interest in doing BBQ thing after the work party, so we'll just plan to head back to a campsite and have some after work beverages around a campfire.

But we do have a site reserved for couple hours in afternoon in West Dairy Creek campground within Stub State Park.

Sure, bring bikes.

Some of us are probably gonna hang out back at a campsite instead of do the ride thing, but you are welcome to bring your bikes.   Ride out to the project site is the best way to go anyway since it's 2 miles now that we've dug all that trail!  dang, right?
