Weekend Trail Work Parties - Memorial Park and Jack Brooks Park

Memorial Park Saturday October 27, 9:00 AM. Meet @ the Memorial Park Soccer Field Parking Lot

We had a great turnout last time (28!), and the majority of the problem areas were addressed. There are still some problem areas due to recent rain and the amount of use these particular trails get.

Jack Brooks Park Sunday October 28, 11:00 AM. Meet at the JBP trailhead parking lot (<—Click for map & directions)

Booker, Raf and crew need some help fixing this always well-maintained and challenging trail, as well as prepping it for the GHORBA Halloween Night Ride (more on that soon).

What to Bring and Expect

Your trail work experience is less important than showing up.

Please bring gloves, safety or sunglasses, and a your Camelbak or water bottle — Hey, we’re trying to cut back on plastic packaging too. We will provide Gatorade and filtered water refills for your container. Also, you may bring your favorite tools if you have them (you can always leave your tools in the car if you want to use ours).

Long pants and shirtsleeves are recommended to fend off poison ivy. Mosquitoes are still out too—we’ve got extra strength DEET if you don’t.

In addition to filtered water and Gatorade refills, GHORBA will provide snacks, specialty and general tools.

Everyone volunteering at the work party can submit their Paydirt form. Even if you don’t race, you can qualify for some sweet prizes at the end of the racing season.

  1. We will focus on trimming and cutting back face slappers. There’s also a very branchy tree that needs to be removed from the triangle area.

  2. Hey guys. We are running an Adventure Race training at JBP there on Saturday from 8:00 – 1:00. I don’t want to interfere with the Trail Work. Who can I contact about this?
