Hi friends, Pat your 2026 President here.

Just a reminder that next week's meeting will include our elections. While I plan to stay on as president for one more year, we do need a few volunteers to fill positions that will be open! Typically the average time commitment is 1-3 hours a week, but it truly depends on how much you want to do. There will be some things that MUST happen and the team needs to be able to count on you to deliver, but past that its up to you how far you want to take your role.

Please feel free to email or DM me at [email protected]. Hope to see you all there!

Ready to make some magic happen in the woods? 🛠️🌲

Join us Saturday, October 31st at 9:00 AM for a crucial Trail Work Day in Hunnewell Town Forest! We’re prepping the blue downhill flow trail corridor to clear the way for machine work—setting the stage for an excavator to come in and shape an incredible new ride.

What you need to know:

Where to meet: Corner of Bay State Road and Bacon Street (we’ll hike in together to the work site).

Tools: Provided! Just bring your work gloves, sturdy boots, water, and enthusiasm.

Pro-tip: If parking in the neighborhood, please be extra mindful of residents and leave plenty of room.

Every pair of hands gets us one step closer to fresh berms and smooth flow. Come out, give back to the trails, and help lay the groundwork for something awesome!

Got questions? Drop a line to [email protected]. See you out there! 🚲🍂
