Also THIS Sunday, PTAG works Bavington
10:00 AM at the Five Points Parking Area
All Bavington trails were severely impacted by the heavy snow. Most
trails have a large tree down every 100 yards or so in addition to
numerous smaller trees and branches. A few highly dedicated volunteers
have managed to clear roughly a third of the trails at Bavington to
this point but your assistance is greatly needed. If you are
available, please give us a hand! We have lots of clearing work to do
before the park is rideable.
Bring saws. Bow saws especially. (But no saw is just fine!) We'll be
walking and cutting the many fallen trees that are blocking the
trails. Wear boots and bring your own sturdy gloves, safety eyewear,
food and water.
See you there, Ben Staud
