Blue Heron is having a vegetation trim this Saturday 5/28/2016

The overgrowth on Blue Heron is getting thick and we are going to trim it back and could use some help. We will be using weedeaters, rakes, loppers and blowers as well as a few tools to do minor trail maintenance along the way. We will meet at the Yanceyville parking lot and then divide into teams. A team will head in from Yanceyville and another will go to Church street and work in from there. If we have a large enough turnout we can also send a team to King Fisher and / or Reedy Fork Church street end.

If you have working weedeaters or blowers and want to use them bring them along but please ensure they are in good working order.  The same goes for rakes and loppers. Don't forget fuel if you bring a power tool.

Where: Blue Heron Trail - Parking Lot 4953 Yanceyville Rd.

When: Saturday 5/28/2016 09:00 am - 1:00 pm

Stuff to bring: Gloves, appropriate clothing/shoes/boots, eye and hearing protection if working with/around power tools, water, snack.

Details: We will be clearing vegetation that is encroaching on the trail. Depending on how many folks show we will divide into teams and work different sections. 

Note: If you are not coming out to work with us you might consider riding a different trail Saturday morning. When we're cutting a section there will be briers and other debris on the tread that you might not want to ride through.

A number of us are camping this weekend at Bandit's Roost. If you

 Meeting at the parking lot by the pump track.
Directions from Wilkesboro:  From 421,west on268  (~8.3 mi) , Right on Boomer-Ferguson School Rd (1/3 mi), left on Campground Rd. Parking Lot is at the end of the road (~.5 mi).  

This ride is for all riders of all skill levels. It is intended to be a fun, social ride for all. We won’t leave anyone behind and will stop as needed.

 If you want to ride ahead, that’s OK. Faster riders are always welcome to lead up front.

Stuff to bring: Mountain bike, in working order, helmet, water, tube or
patch kit, snack.  Please note this trail is somewhat longer (13 mi) and more strenuous. Ensure you bring enough water and food.  As always, if the trails are closed, we aren't riding. 

Thanks to everybody who made it out to the Trail Workday! We had a nice, cool day and although the drizzle got heavy at times we never really saw any rain. We worked a few different sites throughout the day. Little Loop got some attention with a nice re-route, attention to some rough spots and new rock work.

Owls Roost also saw some trail love,  wooden decking replaced with nice earth work and massaging of some rough spots.

Still waiting for photos from the OR crew, we'll add them when they arrive.
