SUMMARY:Trail School: Benching Clinic - 2/18
DESCRIPTION:The Trail Sustainability Institute presents its first focused benching clinic at Rocky Point Trails. \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE. \n\n\n\nThe Trail Sustainability Institute (TSI) presents its first focused clinic on how to properly bench cut a trail. This clinic’s instruction centers around the proper techniques and approaches when establishing or maintaining a trail’s bench.  \n\n\n\nWhat the heck is a bench? We are glad you asked! \n\n\n\nA bench is what is left after the excavation of a hillside to create a back slope and trail tread. This can be the most substantial part of establishing a trail that winds along a hillside.  \n\n\n\nJoin TSI while we pilot this skill-specific clinic. As we look to the future\, we hope to offer more opportunities for these types of distinctive skill-building clinics. Stay tuned! \n\n\n\nOnce registered\, please sign the waiver HERE \n\n\n\nWhat to wear: \n\n\n\n– Work clothes: Light long sleeve shirt\, Long Pants (no shorts)\, Boots\, Gloves\, Eye Protection & Gloves \n\n\n\n– Jacket (be prepared) \n\n\n\n– Hard hat or bike helmet (mandatory) \n\n\n\n-Gloves \n\n\n\nWhat to Bring: \n\n\n\n– Water \n\n\n\n– Snacks \n\n\n\n– Lunch \n\n\n\nSTART time is 10am. Please have yourself and your gear ready by that time. You may find it helpful to arrive 15 minutes early. We will be meeting at the covered area.  \n\n\n\nIn accordance with our agreement with Weyerhaeuser\, the land manager of Rocky Point\, those who enter the property must be an NWTA member in good standing and have signed the Rocky Point Waiver. Join NWTA and become one of nearly 6\,000 mountain bikers stewarding trails together in NW Oregon and SW Washington.
