The 2018 trail building season has started. Volunteers were out today building trail in the McIntosh Run Singletrack Trail System. The trail plan for 2018 is ambitious and we’re excited to have started. If you’re interested in lending a hand (and back) we’d love to have you. You can join our volunteer mailing list here, follow us on Facebook, or check our calendar to find out about the next scheduled build. If you have a group who would like to come out for a special group build please contact us and we’ll try and make it happen.
We are hoping to schedule regular weekly build days soon and will post them when known.
Happy Trails!
