OTHER NOTES
Volunteer needed - The organizer of the Crazy 8 Trail 8 miler trail run, which will be held at YRSP on September 28, is looking for a volunteer to RIDE the course prior to the race (around 7 am) to make sure there are no trail hazards. They also need someone to RIDE the course after the race is over (around 10:30 am) to make sure everyone has made it off the course. You can volunteer for the pre-ride, the post-ride, or both. The course is a mixture of fire roads and single track. If interested please contact Penny at peneloperich@wans.net.
Night rides – Coming soon . . . Night rides. We are working on getting permission from the parks for night rides starting in November. We need ride leaders!!!! Without a ride leader, we cannot have the ride. We are currently looking at Harwoods, Lake Maury, New Quarter and Freedom. Please respond to this email.
Trail work – Cooler weather means it’s trail work season. There is a lot of work to do throughout all of our parks. We plan to schedule trail work on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays each month. Please mark your calendar and plan to help out. We will continue to have group rides on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays, and hopefully get some Sunday rides scheduled as well.
