Trail Work and Party!

Filed under: AMA Events

It’s that time of year, when the rain starts and the dirt gets good. It’s also the time when giving back in the form of trail maintenance is critical. After a fun summer of riding our favorite trails they get a bit hammered with braking bumps and ruts in the corners, and some of the soft ones get blown out. However with the rains come new oppertunities to repair and recreat our trails.

So, on Saturday November 1st Ashland Mountian Adventures will host our first trail work day of this fall. It will begin with coffee and snacks at our office at 700 mistletoe rd. off the Tollman Creek rd. at 9am. from there we will shuttle the first wave of riders/workers, bring your bike, to the top of Mt. A for a quick cost down to the hair pin corners of the bull gap trail. The tools will already be at the needed locations for riders to use. We will have staff on hand to direct witch areas are most in need and would like each person to help out for 2 hours. This will return the trail to what it was or even better shape before the season began.

For your efforts Ashland Mountian Adventures will provide a second “free” shuttle and a  feed after. We will also be raffeling of some cool prizes from WTB, Specialized and Lezyne. So come out and join in the fun and get the reward of accomplishment that goes along with stewardship.

Hey Jane,
that one was last year, however we are hosting another trail work day on Saturday May 30th at 9am at our shop heading up to the Bull Gap trail to clear debies and deadfall tree’s, if any. I will post this on our site soon and look forward to getting our people out there to get things in shape for the upcoming season.
