Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering comes in many forms. While the primary goal is building and maintaining trails, we could use some help in the areas listed below.

SOCIAL BUILDING

Social roles are geared to people who love to have fun and enjoy sharing their love of mountain biking with other people.

Bike Shop Liaison: Do you have a favorite bike shop or three?  Are you looking for another reason to drop by? Give GORC a public relations hand by occasionally dropping off GORC event flyers to your favorite shops.

General Photographer: If you have a good eye and like capturing the passion of trail work or the fun of a GORC social outing, you can be a huge help by taking pictures at events, along the trails or a ride, and sending us the best shots for use online.

TRAIL BUILDING

Physical trail building roles are geared for people who enjoy working in the woods turning a line of flags into fresh new trail.

Trail Building Volunteers: Trail building events are a fun way to experience leaving your mark on a section of trail that you’ll take pride in every time you ride. With experienced Crew Leaders at your side, no experience is necessary.

Tool Sharpeners: Do you have an axe to grind? We have a whole bunch that need sharpening. Nothing makes a trail work day go faster than sharp tools. You can work out of your garage on your own schedule. A win-win for you and the trails!

CLUB BUILDING

Trail Steward: This role is an important link between the public, GORC, and the land manager.

Trail Peer Reviewers: This is a great way to dig in and learn good contour trail design. After an initial flagging, trail peer reviewers take a second look and see if the proposed trail route could use improvement.

Grant Writers: We need people to keep on top of grant sources by scanning the internet for grant opportunities.

PRODUCT WISHLIST

GPS Track List of all Trails: Available on the GORC website, these tracks would be ridden in the most popular fashion and/or used to create ‘epic’ rides that riders can follow and re-create.

Mechanized Tools: This includes pro-grade leaf blowers, chainsaws and power tools.

Landscaping Products: We sometimes need gravel, stones and other landscaping materials for our trail building projects.
