Mountain bike trail work days on both ends of the lake

TAMBA has two trail building days coming up.

The first is with the U.S. Forest Service and Hilride Progression Development Groups on June 24. They are hosting a work day to train people on building progressive features on the Corral Trail.

Meet at the lower parking area at 8:30am Oneidas Street off Pioneer Trail in South Lake Tahoe. Turn onto Oneidas and proceed for roughly 1.25 miles to the dirt parking area located on the left hand side.

All participants need to have typical personal protective equipment for trail work including: eye protection, gloves, long pants, long sleeves, sturdy shoes. In addition, bring personal items needed to stay safe and comfortable in the field, such as lunch, water, and sunscreen.

The work day activities will focus on building features as shown on the final plan set developed by Hilride. Training will include a discussion on layout of features to ensure proper flow and user speed, risk management, and shaping of jump features to achieve the desired experience. Work will continue through the day, and be finished by 4:30pm.

TAMBA’s trail day in Tahoe City is June 30 where a new connector trail between the Tahoe Rim Trail and Forest Service Road 16N49 near Cedar Flat will be installed.

Meet at 9am that Saturday at Tahoe XC, 925 Country Club Drive, Tahoe City. It’s about a 2-mile bike ride up to the work site. Lunch will be provided and Tahoe XC is hosting a post work BBQ. Bring water and long sleeves, long pants, gloves and helmet.
