It's that time again....

Please join us Saturday, July 10th to help improve trail conditions on West Cuesta. The results of this year's abundant rain is apparent in the West Cuesta vegetation--it's huge! Current trail visibility is minimal on much of lower Morning Glory. Plus, as you ride and get pummeled with flowers, you also get up close and personal with the bees in all of those blooming bushes. We will be working primarily to improve the brush conditions and end the vegetation flagellation on Morning Glory, and possibly Shooters.

Also, for those of you disinclined to gardening, there are two gate modification projects at the tops of Shooters and Botanical.  West Cuesta has recently become popular with off road motorcyclists, with increasing trail encounters of trespassing motorcyclists on the Botanical - Morning Glory - Shooters loop. Therefore, we will be working to reinforce and extend the gates at the top of Botanical and Shooters. 6-8 people will be needed to assist with the digging and assembly of stile gates at these areas.

Finally, because no major dirt work is planned, this can be a riding event. Tools will be provided at the two staging areas (see below). Alternatively, you can bring your own lightweight loppers, shears, saws, etc.

So....9 AM, Saturday, July 10, plan on meeting at either 1) the bottom of Stenner (not the Chicken Coop) on the bridge or 2) at the parking lot at the top of the Cuesta grade. From either of these locales, you may then ride (walk, samba, pogo-stick, etc) to Morning Glory or, possibly a gate project. Specific volunteers will be needed to coordinate head counting, swag dispersal, and lead trail work crews. If you know that you are going to be there and want a particular role, please contact Greg R at gregon...@gmail.com
