SFUR Trailwork Day

29 12 2008

SF Urban Riders is building Bike Approved Singletrack in San Francisco. Start the year off right – by being part of the Urban Trail Movement.

WHERE: Mount Sutro Trail System above UCSF
DATE: SATURDAY JANUARY 3rd
TIME: 9am – 1pm Pizza and refreshments will be served at 12:45
MORE INFO AND DIRECTIONS: http://www.natureinthecity.org/mtsutro.php

SFUR will be working with the Mount Sutro Stewards, Nature in the City, and One Brick on Trail and Habitat improvements on Mount Sutro. We will continue to work on the Lower Connector Trail and its awesome switchbacks. This trail is the basis for future trail links like the Stanyan Street Trail and eventually over to Belgrave and Clarendon all on dirt. We had 12 volunteers last month and we made tremendous progress. We can finish this new section of trail on Saturday with enough help, and be ready to start another new link in February… how cool is that!~

SFUR needs your support in making the City a better place to recreate on your bike!





Trail Maintenance Coordinator position opening

17 12 2008

The Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay is looking for a new Board member to take responsibility for coordinating trail work days with parks, land managers, training volunteers on trail-building technique and promoting work days to various cycling groups. The time commitment is about a year with regular monthly meetings, but work days are commonly planned in winter and spring in the Bay Area, due to workable trail conditions. Please inquire with Brent with any further questions.
