I can't go north so I'm going to ride at Caledonia at 9am

Thursday Night Trail Work

Rocky Ridge is in need of some trail work and I would like to see if I can get some people this Thursday at 5:30 to help out. I know it's late notice, but if your able to help let me know. We need weed whackers and hand clippers. We will meet at the yellow gate at the end of the trail. Bird suggested you bring some sort of tick repellent with you. Please respond if you can make it. Thanks We will reschedule when more people are available.

Tuesday, June 25th

Anybody want to ride tomorrow evening? I would like to stay north near Pine Grove but could be convinced to go as far as Big Flat if anyone is interested. I'm hoping for a fast paced couple of hours in the woods if anyone is up to tackle the heat. Would need to ride around 5:30ish.

Sunday Ride?

Saturday 6/15 ride? Pre-fathers' Day

Wondering if anyone is up for a ride on Saturday? A few of us might want to hang with the family on Fathers' Day.

I'm thinking of a central start location.  Caledonia or Big Flat but could be convinced to start somewhere else if there are enough people interested.

Old man morning ride

Hey MBMers
Me and Gary Fisher have been riding alone on Thurs. mornings and it has become a love hate relationship . I talk to him and he just spits me off now and then. Well I was wondering if there would be any interest in a Thurs. morning ride if I posted one ever thurs. am. I like early say between 7am,8am or 9am no later. I like to be done by noon. Sometimes it's a little more fun when someone answers you. Oh yea it would be an elderly paced ride.

Sunday Ride 5-19

Old Forge at 9.

Sunday Ride 4-28

There are 2 organized rides to choose from this Sunday.

1: The Gettysburg Cycle Maximus Preride from the Bendersville Lot. If you plan to race or want to check out the course, join them. And bring a donation for Brian Fults' fight!
2: I will lead a ride from Big Flat at 9. The obvious goal is to put tires on the new section of trail that we cut last week.

Whichever ride you choose, enjoy!

Trail work a success - reroute is done, get out here and ride it.

Thanks to the 26 volunteers who gave up their Sunday to come out and do trail work today.  The trail work  went great and we now have a new fun, flowy section of trail to ride.  Huge thanks to our President for catering the event, providing everyone with coffee in the morning and burgers, dogs, and a nice spread of other food and beverages for our enjoyment after the work was done.  Now please get out there and get some tires on it.

4/20 Ride

I'm planning to ride tomorrow at 11-12ish from the mud banks or furnace area. Anyone who's interested in joining me post up.

Trail Work Day Sunday, April 21, 9:00 am! Be There!

Hi again!

We are planning a trail work day to open the last section of the Wildcat Reroute near Big Flat. This new trail will become an extension of Abigail, making Abby run from the power line near Big Flat the whole way to the Long Pine Reservoir. We hope that with enough people, we can cut in the new section completely with one work session. But for that, we need people!

So, we are planning the trail work day in lieu of the Sunday club ride. Meet on Birch Run Road at the power line crossing at 9:00. This meeting point may change based on how many people are planning to show, so keep an eye peeled to the blog! 

We are hoping to be finished with the work and hiking back out around 1:00 or 2:00, but people can stay as long or as short as they want or can. Every little bit helps!

After the work session, the club will be providing burgers and dogs, chips, etc., for grub so stick around and enjoy the food!

If you can make it, please bring the following if possible:

Gloves

Water

Snacks

Hand saw

Hand pruners

Rake (we will definitely need rakes!--metal leaf rakes work well, or garden rakes)

There will also be tools provided.

We will need at least one trimmer with a circular blade, too!

Again, we really hope to see you out there this Sunday to help complete this really important connector and reopen the ridge trail from Big Flat to Long Pine!

Please leave a comment if you are planning on attending the work day so we can plan better! If you also received an email, you can respond to that instead, please.

Hope to see you this Sunday!
