Another great VBAH volunteer trail work day, thank you to all that came out, we got a bunch done! Did lots of drainage work, so hopefully no more puddles when it rains, cleared a bypass on Monkshood around the "rock pile" so Adaptive Bikes can now do the entire trail, fixed all the bridge transitions so they run smoothly, and fixed some washed out sections and gullied out sections to avoid peddle strikes. Then we enjoy pizza and beverages on a beautiful day!

Today’s the day! If you’ve been thinking about joining us for Trail Work Day, now’s your chance to come lend a hand and help improve our local trails.

We’ll be repairing rough trail sections and tackling small drainage projects to keep the trails in great shape for everyone. No experience is needed all are welcome, and tools will be provided. If you have a shovel or garden rake, feel free to bring it along. We also have some gloves available.

After the work is done, stick around for food and drinks (pizza is likely making another appearance!) and an optional group ride.

Please remember that there is construction at the Trunk Road and Palmer-Fishhook Road intersection, so plan for extra travel time.

Every volunteer makes a difference. If you haven’t made plans yet, come join us and help give back to the trails we all enjoy!

Grab your gloves and join us for a morning of trail stewardship on Saturday, June 20th!

We’ll be working together to improve the trail system by repairing rough spots and addressing small drainage issues that help keep the trails in great shape.

No experience is required, and everyone is encouraged to participate. We’ll provide tools, but if you have a shovel or garden rake, feel free to bring it along. A limited number of gloves will also be available.

After the work is done, we’ll refuel with food and drinks pizza is likely back on the menu and anyone interested is welcome to stick around for a ride.

Please be aware that construction at the Trunk Road and Palmer-Fishhook Road intersection may cause delays, so plan your travel accordingly.

Come out, meet fellow trail users, and help make our trails even better for the entire community!

Come lend a hand at our upcoming Trail Work Day on Saturday, June 20th, from 9:00 AM until around noon!

We’ll be improving the trails and, if there’s interest, heading out for a group ride afterward.

No trail work experience is needed volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome. Our focus for the day will be smoothing out rough trail sections and clearing up drainage issues to keep the trails riding well all season long.

We’ll have tools available, but if you own a shovel or garden rake, bringing it along is always appreciated.

Once the work is wrapped up, stick around for food and refreshments pizza is likely making another appearance!

Heads up: construction is currently underway at the Trunk Road and Palmer-Fishhook Road intersection, so be sure to allow a little extra travel time.

Whether you can stay for an hour or the whole morning, every bit of help makes a difference. We hope to see you out there!

Great trail crew out today kicked butt and got MOST of the trails OPEN at GPRA! Lower half of Monkshood is still muddy so it is still closed. Hopefully next week's sunny hot weather will dry it out. A HUGE thank you to all that showed up. There is still work to be done, stay tuned for the next trail work day- most likely a weekday evening.

Come on out ya’ll we have folks out working on the trails, but we could sure use more! No rain or wind!
