This is a Volunteer trail build event hosted by Northwest Trail Alliance at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park.  A list of all Spring 2010 NWTA scheduled build days at Stub is posted to the Project Updates message forum on nw-trail.org.

BONUS!  Besides the member points you'll earn towards NWTA end of year raffle (and all the good trail karma too!), we'll also be doing a raffle at the build day just for those attending this volunteer event.  There will also be a social gathering of trail volunteers back at a campsite in the park (and you are more than welcome to bring a bike to go ride if you've got the energy after building).

Volunteer trail work in singletrack area for XC trail is under guidance of John Joy and Joe Rykowski as co-trail stewards in collaboration with Ranger Steve Kruger as the Oregon Parks & Recreation Department trail manager at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park.

We'll be focusing on the upper (north) trail loop in mountain biking area of the park in an effort to complete construction so that park can open this area at some point during Summer (note that we're targeting May 29/30 as a special build/camp/ride weekend event with expectation that it'd be an event for builders who have helped over past several years with construction of the trails -- hopefully, this could also be the weekend when a "ribbon cutting" ceremony could also be planned).   Mostly, it depends on how many volunteers attend the planned trail build days... whether we'll accomplish all tasks in that timeframe.   In other words, it's on us, the volunteer trail builders to step up and dig in...  building trail that was designed for mountain biking by mountain bikers is the best feeling in the world!  Come on out and join us if you have been putting it off.
