First Work Day March 30 !!

As you know, Spring has arrived according to the calendar, yet there may be some doubt in our minds as we look over the woods covered in snow. Please don't let that little bit of snow, ruin your dreams, ... spring will show her face and we will be riding and building trails very shortly.

We have great news for 2013. The park has approved for us to build some new sustainable single-track on the Crossover Trail (white) that will replace existing routes co-aligned with certain eroded fire roads. What does this mean? .... mountain bikers and hikers will be able to connect already great popular trails with single track. This will greatly improve the ride and hike experience for all, and we are really exited about this. However, we need all of you, in the form of volunteers to make this happen. I hope some of you will come on out and volunteer.

Our first trail building day is less then 2 weeks away on March 30th. We will be starting the Crossover Trail (white) project with hopes of completing the first few sections this year.

First Work Day:
March 30th Saturday
9:00 am
Meet at:
Ryerson School parking lot. (Park and lot C are still closed)
130 Valley Rd
Ringwpood NJ 07456

Please bring work gloves and sturdy shoes, tools will be provided. Steady rain cancels. Plan to walk in about 1 mile on low angle climbing.

Message from a Ringwood trail crew leader:

As many of you know, volunteers have built most of the trail we ride on. That being said you guys have built 2 of the best trails in the area the last couple of years, Skylands and the Red trail to TOS, these two trails are by far my favorite ones to ride. We are very excited about the White trail project and when you get out and see what we are doing I hope you will be too. We have hopefully designed and will build another gem for all mountain bikers to enjoy. Hope to see you all on the 30th.
