New Bear Creek Trail Building Tomorrow

Colorado Springs, mountain biking, trail work | UltraRob | Friday, June 22nd, 2007 at 8:24 am

Medicine Wheel is having the first work day for the new Bear Creek Park singletrack trail tomorrow. The new trail will be near the dog park on 21st street. The draft trail map is on the website
and it looks like it will be about a 2 mile loop. One of the plans I’ve heard for the trail is for a developmental mountain bike race series. We haven’t really had anything local since the days of the Sand Creek Series.

I’m not going to make it to tomorrow’s work day but plan to help out at some point. Here’s the info from Jim Schwerin. His e-mail is jim[at]medwheel.org.

We are going to be meeting tomorrow morning Saturday, June 23 to start building a new trail in Bear Creek park.

You can see a draft map and more information on the MW web site.

Anyone who is interested in volunteering to build this new trail is welcome. No experience is needed.

We will meet at the pavilion in Bear Creek Park off Argus and 21st Street here. It is the first picnic shelter on your left as you drive into the park. We will meet at 8:30 am to look at the maps, walk the trail, and organize trail crews and scheduling for future trail building. We may even build some trail. Expect to be there until about noon.

If you would like to help, please send me an email letting me know. Even if you can’t make Saturday, we may be out on Sunday as well.
