Forbidden Plateau Trail Day - Sunday Nov 18th

Come rain or shine and join us for the first official Trail Day on Forbidden Plateau. Meeting time is 10am at the Nymph Falls parking lot, and we'll be heading up to the top from there. Bring your shovels, pulaskis, mattocks, gloves and water.

It's somewhat short notice but it's likely that we can get a selection of snacks beverages, etc to keep everyone going.

The plan is to do a mass work day on Two Sheiks, and potentially we have upwards of 20 people likely to show up. Plans include water control, the Good Enuf trail section, rock and soil work along the trail.

If you ever ride forbidden but haven't done any trail work before, we'll be happy to help teach some tricks.

Can't make it for the whole day or still want to ride? add 30 minutes to your ride and come help pick rocks for the trail :)

Looking forward to getting everyone together and turning this into a regular event!

Its great to see that this trail day is picking up speed and other riders in the valley are interested in coming out to give a little back to a great trail system .  I rode from Jake back to Nymph today, Jake is covered in about 12'' of snow almost half way down and, Good Enough is getting chewed up and the Plunge is now a tributary of the Puntledge river and Peckerhead is pretty messed up.  If you don't do the stunts you will be riding in a river that is eroding fast.  Hopefully this will encourage more people to show up on Sunday.  And if you happen to know any of the guys that like to ride trials up there let them know that it's time for everyone to pitch in and give alittle back.  See you on Sunday
