Hi,

I'm thinking on going to this work day, but can't be there until about 10:00-10:30 is there a way I can get a hold of some one? haven't rode palos yet so don't really know the area and stuff

Thanks

No problem, come whenever you can make it.
You will the CAMBr trailer parked on Archer, park and just walk in. ( We will be in the woods on the south side of Archer )
The area we are working is very close to the road.

Please come!  with loss of foliage...you will probabaly be able to see thru the trees standing down at the road....probabaly hear the workers too...

This is a good opportunity to learn TURF from a different perspective as well as nearby trails that connect to it (short link to red gate, the crumbled road)

if its dry and nice, dont forget your bike!!

Last night I had mentioned a video series to a few people on "IMBA's trailbuilding techniques for sustainable multi-use trails for mountain biking, hiking and equestrian use."  I thought I would share a link to it.  It is a series of short videos 1-9.  It is very informative.  Make sure you follow the numbered links (1-9) on the right side of the minimized youtube page.  Also this is available for free on DVD (just pay shipping) from IMBA.

With the way the weather and the trail conditions are, i'm wondering if I should even bother on bringing my bike along? I don't think is going to be ridable right?

conditions are unfavorable for riding but they may be quite good for armoring and packing.  Looks like mid 40s early on and warming up with sun to mid 50s at noon!!   dont worry, you will break a sweat if your workin'....

Thanks to everyone who came out. We did some excellent work on the west end of Turf. For those who couldn't make it, ride early then come to the Tin Fish tomarrow and show your support.
