North Trace Creek Cleared

Thanks to the efforts of a small crew on Saturday, GORC's North Trace Creek Adopt-A-Trail section is clear from just south of Hazel Creek to the Telleck Branch Connector. If you haven't been on one of the Ozark Trail Maintenance runs, you should sign up for the next one. They're great fun, and if you've never seen the BOB trailers bouncing around behind a bike you'll have a good laugh.

New Trail at West Tyson Park

We all know what a blast it is to come barreling down the Chubb and finish up a ride at the Circle. What could be better? How about being able to ride back to the parking lot on singletrack rather than on the road? Well, if there are enough volunteers at the Flint Quarry Trailhead at 9 am this Saturday, March 10, you'll be able to do just that.
This trail is short, only about 3/10 of a mile, but it's very rocky and complicated, and will require a lot of benchcutting and moving of rocks. The trail crosses two creeks, and actually uses one of them for around 100 feet.
Because of all the digging, we'll need a really good volunteer turnout to finish this, so please come out and help if you can. This makes 2 new sections of trail in 2 weeks!

The Rollercoaster at Castlewood

Thanks to the more than 50 volunteers who braved the wintry conditions this weekend, there is a new trail at Castlewood. If you go clockwise from where it starts across from the Ranger Station Cut-Off you might find the trail a little hard to follow at the moment. Just keep following the orange flags and paint. Sam says he's going to try and get out this week and blow the leaves off the tread, so get out and help beat it in once the trails have dried out. The updated map and description should be up on the Trails Page soon.
