SUMMARY:DIG DAY — Tillamook - 11/9
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in the Tillamook for a fun-filled day of recreation\, stewardship\, and fun times afterward! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe scope of work for the fall & winter is still a bit TBD at this point\, but similar to years past we’ll be focusing on maintaining shared-use trails (Gales Creek\, Storey Burn\, Wilson River Trail\, Historic Hiking Loop) by removing blowdown\, pruning them back\, improving drainage\, and re-shaping the tread caused by erosion in the rugged and steep (but gorgeous) Coast Range Mountains. Weather conditions are always variable out there\, but we will reschedule if conditions warrant. \n\n\n\nA typical day starts at 8am for the completely optional ride/hike/run to get the legs warmed up\, then a quick change of clothes at 10am to get ready for the actual work. We work on the designated trail section from 10am-2:30pm\, then usually celebrate with a warm fire\, some hot food (options for those with dietary restrictions provided)\, and a variety of provided beverages from Pelican\, Hopworks\, and others. Total hiking distance when working is less than 4 miles round-trip. \n\n\n\nTools can be provided as needed. We break into smaller crews\, each led by an experienced crew lead who can provide direction and answer questions as needed to ensure you’re having a safe\, fun\, and productive time. \n\n\n\nAs dates get closer\, the Tillamook LST (Nathan Frechen) will provide details (when & where to meet up\, what to bring\, etc). Feel free to reach out to him proactively at tillamooksf@nw-trail.org with any questions you may have in advance.

SUMMARY:Cyclepath DIG Day at Rocky Point - 11/16
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday (11/16)\, we’re kicking off a new trail at Rocky Point and the Cyclepath crew is taking the lead on the build\, see below for all the details. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen & where: \n\n\n\n– Meet at 9:30am at the Rocky Point mid lot near the gazebo (please carpool if possible!)– We will caravan in from the mid gate. The goal is as few cars as possible past the gate\, so we will ask people to be willing to carpool from the mid lot in or if you have a car that has extra seats feel free to fill them up with other volunteers. You’re welcome to pedal in but keep in mind we are working in the far south area of Rocky and it takes some time to pedal over.– Our goal is to be into the work zone\, with our safety meeting/trail goals meeting done by 10am and ready to work.– We will work until 1pm at which point we will caravan out of the work zone and back to the gazebo for lunch\, beers and N/A refreshments.– After lunch if the weather is good and people are motivated we will be riding\, so feel free to bring your bike and get out on a group ride! \n\n\n\nWhat we’ll be doing: \n\n\n\n– We will be focusing on the lower portion of the new Cyclepath line dubbed “Ernie’s Journey”. This trail starts in the farther south zone past Runaway Return\, running down a ridge line before turning and crossing a creek to reconnect to the lower portion of Runaway Return. This trail will be an important connector for other trails built in the south area this winter\, as well as a selection of trails in the deep south zone of Rocky point that will be accessible from Skyline.– This first work party will primarily focus on clearing and benching the lower section of trail that connects into Runaway Return. All of the large debris has been cleared and we need to focus on creating a well benched and packed trail down to the creek crossing.– We will hike in/out roughly a half mile to the work zone from the road.– Whether this is your first dig day or you’re a well seasoned trail digger you are more than welcome to come out and dig. We are happy to assist and demonstrate proper digging techniques. \n\n\n\nWhat to bring: \n\n\n\n– PPE: safety glasses\, work gloves (bike gloves will work but aren’t the best for digging)\, hardhat or helmet\, long pants and hiking/biking shoes with decent grip. We will be working rain or shine so keep in mind to bring waterproof/warm clothing.– Tools: we will be providing all needed tools. If you have a favorite tool feel free to bring it but remember you will be responsible for getting it in and out of the work zone.– Water/snacks: we will have water and snacks available\, but it will be up to you to carry it into and out of the work zone. Bring a pack if desired for anything you want to have with you. \n\n\n\nWeather: \n\n\n\n– We will be working rain or shine\, please keep an eye on the forecast and be prepared for the elements. Bring along a change of clothes\, we will have a gas fire pit back at the gazebo to warm up and some warm food to reward those who came out and moved dirt. \n\n\n\nBathroom: \n\n\n\n– There is a bathroom at the mid lot trailhead but not in the zone we will be working in. Please plan accordingly. \n\n\n\nFood/drink: \n\n\n\n– We will have warm food available at the end of the dig session. There will be vegan/gluten free options available\, if you have specific dietary restrictions please reach out ahead of time and we will try to accommodate. \n\n\n\nPost dig ride: \n\n\n\n– If the weather is in our favor we will be planning to do a ride after lunch around 2pm. Feel free to bring your bike and gear and come out for a pedal with us!– We will likely ride for a couple hours on the south side trails\, starting from the mid lot and returning to the mid lot. \n\n\n\nRaffle/giveaway: \n\n\n\n– We will be having between 3-5 dig days on the Cyclepath line this winter to get it ready to open in the spring.– Our winter dig series will culminate with a trail opening party and raffle giveaway. For each dig party attended you will earn one raffle ticket which will enter you into a drawing for many awesome prizes from Pivot\, Transition\, Rocky Mountain\, Specialized\, and more.– * Do not have to be in attendance at the trail opening party to win the grand prize \n\n\n\nMisc: \n\n\n\n– If you’re planning to bring your bike to ride after\, either plan on driving into the zone or having a way to secure it to your car/inside your car while we’re digging. Rocky Point has been known to have theft issues in the parking lot so please keep valuables out of sight and doors locked.– If there is any questions please reach out ahead of time\, stoked to dig with y’all! \n\n\n\nOnce registered\, please sign the waiver HERE. \n\n\n\nEmail vounteer@nw-trail.org or lucas@cyclepathpdx.comwith any questions about this event.

SUMMARY:DIG DAY — NWTA x CYCLEPATH - 12/14
DESCRIPTION:Join Cyclepath to kick off a new trail at Rocky Point \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhen & where:– Meet at 9:30am at the Rocky Point mid lot near the gazebo (please carpool if possible!)– We will caravan in from the midgate. The goal is as few cars as possible past the gate\, so we will ask people to be willing to carpool from the mid lot in or if you have a car that has extra seats feel free to fill them up with other volunteers. You’re welcome to pedal in but keep in mind we are working in the far south area of Rocky and it takes some time to pedal over.– Our goal is to be into the work zone\, with our safety meeting/trail goals meeting done by 10am and ready to work.– We will work until 1pm at which point we will caravan out of the work zone and back to the gazebo for lunch\, beers and N/A refreshments.– After lunch if the weather is good and people are motivated we will be riding\, so feel free to bring your bike and get out on a group ride! \n\n\n\nWhat we’ll be doing:– We will be focusing on the lower portion of the new Cyclepath line dubbed “Ernie’s Journey.” This trail starts in the farther south zone past Runaway Return\, running down a ridge line before turning and crossing a creek to reconnect to the lower portion of Runaway Return. This trail will be an important connector for other trails built in the south area this winter\, as well as a selection of trails in the deep south zone of Rocky point that will be accessible from Skyline.– This first work party will primarily focus on clearing and benching the lower section of trail that connects into Runaway Return. All of the large debris has been cleared\, and we need to focus on creating a well-benched and packed trail down to the creek crossing.– We will hike in/out roughly a half mile to the work zone from the road.– Whether this is your first dig day or you’re a well-seasoned trail digger\, you are more than welcome to come out and dig. We are happy to assist and demonstrate proper digging techniques. \n\n\n\nWhat to bring:– PPE: safety glasses\, work gloves (bike gloves will work but aren’t the best for digging)\, hardhat or helmet\, long pants and hiking/biking shoes with decent grip. We will be working rain or shine so keep in mind to bring waterproof/warm clothing.– Tools: we will be providing all needed tools. If you have a favorite tool feel free to bring it but remember you will be responsible for getting it in and out of the work zone.– Water/snacks: we will have water and snacks available\, but it will be up to you to carry it into and out of the work zone. Bring a pack if desired for anything you want to have with you. \n\n\n\nWeather:– We will be working rain or shine\, please keep an eye on the forecast and be prepared for the elements. Bring along a change of clothes\, we will have a gas fire pit back at the gazebo to warm up and some warm food to reward those who came out and moved dirt. \n\n\n\nBathroom:–There is a bathroom at the mid-lot trailhead\, but not in the zone we will be working in. Please plan accordingly. \n\n\n\nFood/drink:– We will have warm food available at the end of the dig session. There will be vegan/gluten free options available\, if you have specific dietary restrictions please reach out ahead of time and we will try to accommodate. \n\n\n\nPost dig ride:– If the weather is in our favor we will be planning to do a ride after lunch around 2pm. Feel free to bring your bike and gear and come out for a pedal with us!– We will likely ride for a couple of hours on the south side trails\, starting from the mid lot and returning to the mid lot. \n\n\n\nRaffle/giveaway:– We will be having between 3-5 dig days on the Cyclepath line this winter to get it ready to open in the spring.– Our winter dig series will culminate with a trail opening party and raffle giveaway. For each dig party attended you will earn one raffle ticket which will enter you into a drawing for many awesome prizes from Pivot\, Transition\, Rocky Mountain\, Specialized\, and more.– * Do not have to be in attendance at the trail opening party to win the grand prize  \n\n\n\nMisc:–If you’re planning to bring your bike to ride after\, either plan on driving into the zone or having a way to secure it to your car/inside your car while we’re digging. Rocky Point has been known to have theft issues in the parking lot so please keep valuables out of sight and doors locked.– If there are any questions\, please reach out ahead of time\, I am stoked to dig with y’all! \n\n\n\nOnce registered\, please sign the waiver HERE. \n\n\n\nEmail vounteer@nw-trail.org or lucas@cyclepathpdx.com with any questions about this event.

SUMMARY:DIG DAY — Tillamook - 12/14
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in the Tillamook for a fun-filled day of recreation\, stewardship\, and fun times afterward! \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe scope of work for the fall & winter is still a bit TBD at this point\, but similar to years past we’ll be focusing on maintaining shared-use trails (Gales Creek\, Storey Burn\, Wilson River Trail\, Historic Hiking Loop) by removing blowdown\, pruning them back\, improving drainage\, and re-shaping the tread caused by erosion in the rugged and steep (but gorgeous) Coast Range Mountains. Weather conditions are always variable out there\, but we will reschedule if conditions warrant. \n\n\n\nA typical day starts at 8am for the completely optional ride/hike/run to get the legs warmed up\, then a quick change of clothes at 10am to get ready for the actual work. We work on the designated trail section from 10am-2:30pm\, then usually celebrate with a warm fire\, some hot food (options for those with dietary restrictions provided)\, and a variety of provided beverages from Pelican\, Hopworks\, and others. Total hiking distance when working is less than 4 miles round-trip. \n\n\n\nTools can be provided as needed. We break into smaller crews\, each led by an experienced crew lead who can provide direction and answer questions as needed to ensure you’re having a safe\, fun\, and productive time. \n\n\n\nAs dates get closer\, the Tillamook LST (Nathan Frechen) will provide details (when & where to meet up\, what to bring\, etc). Feel free to reach out to him proactively at tillamooksf@nw-trail.org with any questions you may have in advance.
