Volunteers with TAMBA will be out on Mr. Toads this Saturday the 24th (National Public Lands Day) putting in some time for much needed trail work. We'll be focusing on the main rock area making it a true waterfall section, not some ambiguous section of trail that most people tripod and cyclocross style down. We're going to keep it fast and rocky.
Show up and give a hand and voice your opinion on what maintenance needs to happen for this day and in the future. Plan to ride Toads and stop for whatever time you can to help out. We'll be there from 930 to 330 working, then at the bottom for a bbq and beers (free to volunteers) at 4pm.
Toads / Saxon Creek Details:
We will be working primarily on the main rock sections of upper Toads. The existing technical alignments will be kept intact, the main goals are to stabilize these lines and more clearly define them by removing some alternate lines and side trails that have appeared. Everyone should ride their bikes out to the work area and then ride down afterwards. All tools will be dropped off beforehand by the Forest Service, this is a huge help so that we all can ride and not haul up heavy tools.
Bring: Water, long sleeves, sunglasses, gloves, your bike. We will provide free sandwiches for lunch and some snacks.
Time: Meet at the rock sections @ 930 am - this is about 1/2 mile down from the intersection of Saxon Creek and the Rim Trail. Allow enough time in the morning to ride up from Luther or Big Meadow or Armstrong. Luther Pass trail head by Grass Lake on Highway 89 is the closest access point, 3 miles from the work area. We will work until about 330pm, then ride down to the bottom parking lot for a free BBQ and beers. As always any time you can contribute during the day is helpful, if you are planning to ride Toads anyway this Saturday, stop at least for an hour or so and help out.
Marlette-Hobart Connector Details:
If you can't make Saturday, we have another opportunity for you to help out on Sunday, September 25. Join TAMBA, the bike patrol, Muscle Powered Carson City, and State Parks for a trail day building the new Marlette-Hobart connector trail. Bring long pants, long sleeves, sturdy shoes, gloves, water and a lunch. Meet at 8am at the Lakeview Gate (4500 Hobart Road, Carson City) for 4WD carpool up to the work site. Work will end around 3pm and we should be back at the gate around 4pm.
