| I'm in for sure. This is the trail I ride the most; mainly because it's so close to home, but I really like the flow of it as well. |

If anyone has any questions, please post them here.
Forgot to post that I RSVP'd w/the County for my lunch count. |

just a reminder to anyone attending to email or call Sue Kuehnert from STL County parks so she's gets an accurate head count for food. Her info is in the main post.
And thanks in advance to all those signed up already.

Anyone else going to make it out?
There probably aren't going to be too many places dry enough to ride tomorrow, but CCP might be one of them since it dries so fast. No guarantees on that, but why not come out and do a little trail work, and (fingers crossed), get a ride in afterward?
Word has it that some Team Seagal members are going to make an appearance, and who knows what those guys will do-- a double workday? Maybe tie a McLeod to one hand, and a Pulaski to the other just to show their superior state of mind? We'll find out. |

Hey people - just got back from the park and I didn't check all the trails out, but nearest the area we will be working it was wet but firm. If it's not ridable Saturday there's a good chance it would be on Sunday, so like Pilzner said, come out and build, then come back the next day and ride. I've got a big box of swag to give out from BIG SHARK.
Afterwards hit the Wine & Cheese Place's beer and cheese tasting, it's free! No need to hit Home depot or Bed Bath and Beyond, they'll be plenty of time to get your pine cone wreaths and scented holiday candles someother weekend when it is raining.
Cheers!

The weather Gods are smiling this morning. Should be a great day to build trail! Update; A good turnout today at CCP! Must have been thirty to forty people there. Here are a few pictures I took. Pat

Hey all-
A HUGE THANKS to everyone that came out -we had 50-60 people and an incredible amount of trail was built. Thanks again to BIG SHARK for supplying a box full of SWAG and peeps. I'd say we got 70% of the next section done and we'll certainly get the rest done in November. - Hope to see you there.
The existing trail was been extended and is ready to ride. Please be kind and stop where it obviously ends. The rest well get done in November.
Thanks again,
Brian |
