As mentioned here, we are beginning a long term trail repair and improvement program in the Durham Forest. It all starts with the first build on May 30th. We’ll be repairing a single track that was impacted by the Summer 2007 logging operation. We’ll be removing some trees, and rerouting around some troublesome unsustainable sections. The end result will be a trail that is not only sustainable, but also more fun that what is already there. Please lend us a hand on this weekend!

Our success depends upon the mountain biking, hiking and riding communities’ support.  Please lend us a hand on this weekend! The land manager (LSRCA) is already impressed with the mountain biking community, lets really knock their socks of by turning out in big numbers to give back to the trails.

Come out and learn how to build sustainable trails, meet other trail users, and make a contribution to the trails you use.  Give us a few hours of your time and energy and together we’ll bring positive change to the trails we love to walk and ride. Bring some friends to work with and go for a well earned walk or ride together afterwards.
