Trail building update and events!

Happy Saturday everyone!

First, the main, wide path at the new natural area is DONE! Ready for cruising, walking, running, whatever! Also, the blue (intermediate) singletrack trail is very near complete, and is certainly rideable if you use the main path in a short section.

If you haven't been to the trails yet, you can access the area from the Farr Library (20th street and just east of 65th ave), park there and walk or ride up to the wide cement path parallel to 20th street. Head west and you will see the wide, main path going into the meadow to the right. The blue trail branches off from the path very early on. You will be able to ride it, though for a bit you may have to use the main path as the trail is not entirely finished.

You may also access the trails by going down 65th avenue from 20th street and taking a right into the neighborhood. There is a small circular pulloff and obvious cement trail that begins there. Walk or ride up this trail toward the bridge and again, you will see the main path. The blue path branches off the path to both the right and left. It is currently unmarked, but is mostly finished and fun!

We had some motivated folks out on Thursday night working on the blue trail; thanks to Nate, Chris, Scott, Cameron, and Abby, you all put in some hard work!

We have some upcoming trail work days, and we need your help! The community is making this happen, and we need you, dear reader, to do your best in donating your time if you're at all interested! This is an amazing area...please give us your effort to make it accessible and fun for everyone! You can come for any amount of time, from an hour to all day.

Here is a list of the future build dates. As always, if you can't work the entire time - no problem. One hour of help is better than no help. Help out if you can.
