GORC’s monthly meeting will be at the Schlafly Tap Room at 7pm this coming Wednesday 05/01/13. We will be discussing the Greensfelder Challenge, the opening of Bluff View trail, upcoming trail building events and other trail-related goodness. Join us for a few drinks and socialize.

GORC has new hoodies and t-shirts available now. Both are offered in hot pink and maroon and we will try and have them on hand at most of our trail building and meetings. We will accept PayPal but please pick up your clothing first to make sure we have your size available before paying.

There’s no need to toss your ruined tubes or tires. Sure that gash in your sidewall and that cursed tube may have stopped you in your tracks but consider donating their carcasses to one of the participating bike shops.

GORC’s newest sponsor, has donated more than 400 premium vinyl decal stickers soon available for your car. Two sizes available and they made their debut at the Bike Swap in January.

You can still access our old Blogger blog at gorctrails.blogspot.com. We plan to pull the ‘best of’ articles from it when we have some free time. All new blog posts will originate from our new site here on out.

We are hard at work compiling information for three additional gravel routes: the Al Foster in Wildwood, the Hamburg off Highway 94 and the never-ending Katy trail. Look for these new trail pages in the coming weeks.

If you’re leaving ruts like this, you should be riding on the road or gravel. We’ll probably have to schedule a workday to fix this kind of stuff instead of working on the new singletrack across University Drive that was begun yesterday.

This past Sunday, we got a group of interested people out to review the new section of trail at Greensfelder which will be built on Saturday, Feb. 23rd. See here for details. The Greensfelder Trail Crew- Matt, Bryan, Ron & Scott had scouted the area previously with clinometers, and taped a rough line signifying the approximate trail layout.

Over 40 volunteers (GORC, Americorp and school students) helped clear the trail corridor and build a sustainable benchcut near the beginning of the trail. This workday will help the contractors who are bidding on this project see what the finished trail should resemble.
