Help us work on a new benched-in blue/back trail as it extends beyond the final gap jumps on Gappuccino.

register here

Who is leading this party?

Kygan Dao is working on a new benched-in blue/black trail as it extends beyond the final gap jumps of Gappuccino. There will be ride-arounds all the way down to this section and anyone who is comfortable on steeper terrain will enjoy this trail. The lower section will focus less on advanced features and is intended to flow more with the natural terrain, ending just up the road from the switchblade ending.

What is the timeframe for the day?

9 a.m. – 2 p.m.

What is the scope of work for the day?

We will carpool from the Rocky Point main lot and head down toward the end of Switchblade and next to the gravel pit. The trail is very accessible from the fire road. We will hike in to finish benching the line, get creative with the terrain, remove dead limbs from standing trees, and complete the exit to the road. The trail has been raked and flagged, we just need to get down to the soil and build some support in the corners.

We will have snacks for everyone. If we get a big enough group we will have warm chili and beverages to reward your hard work. Our goal is to have 20+ people on this crew.

Note:

Safety meeting starts at 9:00 a.m.

DIG DAY — NWTA x CYCLEPATH - 4/5
2025-04-05 09:30 - 14:00
Join Cyclepath on their new trail at Rocky Point.

register here

When & where:– 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!

What 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.

What 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.

Weather:– 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.

Bathroom:–There is a bathroom at the mid lot trailhead but not in the zone we will be working in. Please plan accordingly.

Food/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.

Post 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 hours on the south side trails, starting from the mid lot and returning to the mid lot.

Raffle/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

Misc:–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!
