    No we are not oblivious to the weather outside! (free beer)  But come heck or high water the riding season will come, and we need to find a way to get ready for it. We already have the high water, can the other be far behind? (free beer)
    So lets make the best of it! (free beer)  I guarantee you will have not seen the creek this high before! We have floating bridges, washed out trails, and more to entertain you! Did I mention free beer yet? Check out the cool events we have planned below....(free beer)

    Saturday - Sponsored by CamRock Sport:
    9:00 - Meet @ CamRock Park Area 1, or CamRock 1 on most mapping systems, in Cambridge. Sign in, introductions and tool safety, break into groups led by Trail Stewards. Donuts, coffee, and milk compliments of CamRock Sport.

    CamRock I will be our base of operations for the entire weekend.

    9:30 - Work groups head to their respective work areas

    1:00 - Lunch on site provided by CamRock Sport & Cafe!!(free beer) OK no free beer yet. You need to work with tools yet. Be patient!

    1:30 - Regroup and breakout to work areas

    5:00 - Snacks, hydration, and group ride

    6:00 - Free dinner and music and yes FREE BEER at CamRock Sport! 217 Water Street if you have not been there before. We will get you there.
    Lets get this party started! Enjoy the fruits of our day of work, talk about the fun that was had, BS with like-minded mountain biking folk, and enjoy the free food and beer! CamRock Sport is donating all the eats, and Ale Asylum is donating the beer! How the heck can you top that? Oh yeah, we will have free music, and fire! A flaming bike, bonfire, you name it!
    Links to CamRock Sport sites here - You will want to get on their weekly email list: https://www.facebook.com/CamRockSport?ref=ts&fref=ts and here: http://camrocksport.com/

    8:ish - Night ride? If you wanna bring a bike, and you are a little bit crazy, this will go down. Ride from CamRock Sport to Heather's! Gravel trail is still trail right? No more free beer? but a great fun bar nonetheless.

    If you are crazy enough with this weather, and have a hankerin'. We have CamRock I reserved for the weekend. You could camp out if you want to. There will be a porta potty available. Though the nearest running water is a mile away at CamRock Sport.


    Sunday - Sponsored by The Rockdale Bar & Grill (formerly known as Heather's):
    9:00 - Breakfast at CamRock I. Sausage, eggs, pastries, coffee. Rockdale Bar & Grill will provide everything you need. Just show up, eat, and get ready to fix up some trails! 
    Located here: https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF-8&q=camrock+park+area+1&fb=1&gl=us&hq=camrock+park+area+1&cid=0,0,13553966696092039969&ei=gr5sUZSQCI200QHxv4HACg&ved=0CI8BEPwSMAA

    9:30 - Sign in, introductions and tool safety, break into groups led by Trail Stewards.

    1:00 - Meet at Rockdale Bar & Grill for lunch and the after weekend party! More free food and Free Beer! Forecasts say it might actually be nice enough to party on the deck! And if we are lucky there will be a meat raffle going on... ;)

    Free beer, free food, free music, bikes, bonfires, you aren't gonna want to miss this! Pretty much the coolest place to be if you are into trails and bikes this weekend. The first fun of the biking season is here. Come on out and join us.
    Please join us for as much of the trail work weekend as you can. I know the forecast does not look rosy. But would you rather be working on trails when the trails are good to ride? Or get them ready when conditions are crud and then be good to go when conditions improve? Another positive is with conditions like this the trails are really showing us where the water issues are. The more help we get the more we can deal with those issues and the faster we will be riding.
    With this weather I would recommend a nice dry set of warm clothes to change into. I am no slave driver. We want you to have fun as well as get some good work done on the trails. So dress warm. Dress for being outdoors. And for doing some work - like boots and gloves. And don't forget, you will definitely want to stick around after the work to enjoy the fruits of our labor! Free Beer!
    So get off the couch, and out of the house. I hope to see some faces I have not seen in months.
    As always, call me if you need to come late, early, or just can't make the designated meeting times. i will steer you to place to make a difference. My celly is 7:SEVEN:2 7:EIGHT THREE:3. Free Beer!

    I'm planing to camp out Saturday night. Anyone else?

    I'm too much of a scaredy cat loser to spend the night in the woods all alone.

    Thanks for the duplication Nelson. I know there were a couple of comment that got lost in the moving to the main page and then getting a duplicate here. Post up if you have questions or comments.
     The party Saturday night at CamRock Sport should be a great time. And the after lunch/party at Rockdale Bar & Grill on Sunday should be a good way to wrap up the weekend. Hope to see a lot of faces this weekend.

    Did I mention free beer ;)

    I'm in for the Saturday work! I may not be able to stay for the evening festivities, however. I may have to bring a free beer or two of my own, since I may miss the real FREE stuff!

    When it is cold you are supposed to just snuggle a little closer!

    You can always just throw a sleeping bag on a picnic table. Set it up under the shelter. And call it camping ;)

    So I just watched the forecast. Yes we are getting a couple more inches of rain. And some snow Friday.

    Now the good news: The rain will end.  Saturday looks to be the best day to be outside for the next week. No rain and sun! And all of this rain is doing a good job of showing us where both existing and future water issues are on the trail. The main goal this weekend is going to be repairing those areas so they don't become bigger issues in the future. So thank you Mother Nature......I think?

    Hope to see you Saturday. Lets have some fun and enjoy the sunshine!

    I don't know about you, but I have had enough of this week already! Cruddy weather, cruddy things going on, bad people doing bad things. Enough already!
    I can't wait to get out in the sunshine and have fun and work in the dirt with cool mountain biking folks! And it makes the trails better to boot!
    I look forward to seeing everyone this weekend. Did someone say free beer ;-)
