The snow is melting, the lower trails are starting to be ridden, it’s time for mountain bike riders to get to work.

The first TAMBA Trail Day of the season is April 6 on the Whites Creek Trail in Galena. Workers will be fixing some damage from the winter storms, rerouting an eroding section of trail away from the creek and legitimizing a log ride-over to make it more solid and a permanent feature.

Meet at 9am at the Whites Creek Day Use Parking lot up the road from Timberline Drive. Wear long pants, long sleeves, and sturdy shoes and bring water and snacks. Lunch and post work refreshments will be provided.

Please RSVP on the Facebook event so organizers can plan tools and food.

There will be a second trail day at the same place on May 5 to do another reroute and build a “switchberm”.

    I cannot help but think it would be better to stay off the Trails untill the melt is complete? Seems messing around on wet terrain is unproductive to the long term health of the trails?

    That said I got a new bike just over a year ago and am already taing easy rides. but I live in Verdi where the mud is gone

    Corral Trail in Tahoe is a finalist for $100K Bell Built Grant. Please vote!

    I find this relavent to this article and to SLT,

    Posting from another site I follow. Big news for SLT MTB
    Modifications to South Lake Tahoe’s Corral Trail could be completed by the fall, but first it needs your vote.

    PLEASE GET ON FACEBOOK AND VOTE FOR OUR CORRAL TRAIL PROJECT.

    If the Corral project wins, the Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association would get about $30,000 and in-kind labor to finish the route. This means we might win our share of $100,000 split between 3 projects and have IMBA Trail Solutions come here to help build out all the proposed features on Corral Trail (jumps, berms, hips, tables, rock features).
    Once complete the Corral Trail will be a model for how trails with mountain bike features can legally be built in USFS lands

    Here’s the plan: http://mountainbiketahoe.org/wp-cont…MBA2013-sm.pdf

    and here’s where you vote. Select Flow Trail Projects and Corral: http://www.facebook.com/BellBikeHelm…28716427271717
