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!
