Black’s Creek Work and Fun Day – April 13, 2024
The mountain-riding season is here and the annual TVTMA Black’s Creek Work and Fun Day is Saturday, April 13th. Please plan on attending! We need a good 30 to 40 people willing and able to perform easy to moderate work-out-on-the-trails. The plan is to meet about a ¼ mile east of the Bender Creek Trailhead, Saturday morning, April 13 th at 9:30am. We’ll have a short riders/workers meeting, split up into groups and hit the trails. Please be ready to ride and work
around 10am. We’ll be under contract with the Forest Service. Most hand tools will be provided but if you can, please bring a small shovel, hoe or similar tool. If you can carry a chain saw or brush cutter, great – bring it. A few chain saws are needed. Please dress accordingly (for work and riding to the site). If you are able to safely carry a “trail tool” such as a Shovel, Pulaski, Hoe, or McCloud, on your bike, even better. Nobody will carry tools for you. The FS is unable to access many trails so WE WILL need to be able to carry tools. Please bring a digital camera! Or a cell phone with a camera!! We need before and after photos!! I will have small notebooks for each trail crew. (I need detailed notes so I can fill out all the trail forms to submit to theForest Service.) The weather is supposed to be perfect! Heck, it’s always perfect in Idaho!! Again, you will need to ride your bike to work sites on the trail system so please bring your bike, riding gear, trail food, water, etc. Besides, when the work is complete, you may want to go ride for fun.
All skill levels welcome! Oh yeah, don’t forget, we have a fully-catered 2 and 4-stroke dinner for all work participants around 5pm Saturday afternoon. If you work or volunteer in any fashion for this event, you can eat! We could use some volunteers for food serving and cleanup too. It’s not difficult. All that’s needed is a bit of your time.
