Description: Our work will include continuing ( finish? ) a reroute of the Ole Ranger Trail up top with Ascent Bicycle Studio! We’ll be demonstrating grade reversals and drainage’s, full bench work and sustainable trail design while staying on top of a consistent trailbed width, and outslope. Generally having a grand time swinging tools and making friends. You should bring gloves and sturdy footwear suitable for doing trail work outside, something to drink, a smiling face and your favourite tool. Expect to get dirty, wet and have a ton of fun doing it! We’ll bring donuts, tools, know how, lunch, beverages, and a highly coveted t-shirt!
