Capital Trail Alliance

Heads up: Next week, starting 11/24, Thacher Park staff will be doing some work on the new-ish Long Path section between the Perimeter Trail and Hanglider Rd. They will be doing some grading so it can be effectively groomed as a snowmobile route, which will also benefit fat biking this winter.

The trail will remain open, but ride with caution as they may be actively working while you ride.

Thanks to Town of Bethlehem NY Parks & Recreation for their support in us keeping North Bethlehem Park running smoothly and for supporting mountain biking in the region.

In the last year they've delivered us a few loads of millings that we use to fill low/muddy areas.

They also built us a storage shed for us to hold tools and supplies so we don't have to lug stuff from home and they handled installation of the bike repair stations for us at both NBTP and Normanskill Ravine park.

Huge thanks to the volunteers! And an extra special thank you to Curtis Lumber Company in Delmar, NY, who split the cost with CTA to make this project happen. They also delivered for free (twice!).

Here's a time lapse of today's build.

A bit last minute, but we will be working to replace the longer bridge at North Bethlehem Park on Saturday August 9th at 10AM.

We could use some extra hands, come join us! Sign up below.

This workday will involve helping build a new bridge or moving fill to fill low/eroded areas.
