Workshop participants
Participants should come prepared to ride with bikes, clothes and equipment, plus additional layers of clothing to stay warm while talking.
Participants are encouraged to bring vehicles capable of carrying multiple bicycles, in addition to cameras, and lunch for the day.
Please keep the gates closed, if you don’t ride up please don’t ride down. All the trails and riders benefit from the uphill traffic. Check out the condition of the Connecter Trail now to see the benefit of the uphill traffic.
This sounds like nothing but a get together to ride the Corral Trail. If you are working in the Lower Corral Trail, why are you car pooling to the top of Upper Corral!!!? Also, consider closing the paved road from the top of Lower Corral permanently. If people want to ride the upper than ride up the pavement and earn your downhill. Save the air from car noise and exhaust!! This is Keep Tahoe Blue country isn’t it?
