North County MTB'ers:
I hope to see you Saturday, Feb. 28 at 8:30 a.m. at the Calavera Dam for
a morning of trail work. The ground is soft from the rains, so it's a great
time to get some good work done.
Also, for those of you interested in bike parks, jumps, pump tracks, I'd like to
meet immediately after the event to talk about bike park opportunitites in
Oceanside and Carlsbad. YES!, I said Carlsbad!
Also, coming March 21st:
(Space is limited, RSVP at the end of this
message.)
Are you ready to move beyond simply riding your local trails and learn to
build them? The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew program is providing that
opportunity On Saturday, March 21 in San Diego County. The Trail Care Crew
experts crisscross the U.S. in their Subaru Outbacks, from Connecticut to
California and Texas to Montana, teaching the art and science of trailbuilding.
This Trailbuilding School is hosted by SDMBA, and includes a day of classroom
and field instruction. It combines interactive learning, hands-on trailwork and
top-notch instructors to develop skilled trailworkers and trailwork leaders.
Topics covered include:
Since 1997, IMBA Trailbuilding Schools have
taught more than 150,000 people - including the land managers that make
decisions about bicycle access - how to build durable, fun-to-ride trails. See

North County Mountain
Bikers:
February 28th at Calavera
This is an important opportunity for mountain bikers, hikers, and others to come
together for the common cause of taking care of our precious open spaces. Let's
demonstrate that we are responsible stewards of Calavera by pitching in to make
it a better place for everyone who enjoys it.
SDMBA is collaborating with the CA Dept. of Fish and Game to do habitat
restoration and erosion control on a heavily used trail falling southwest away
from the quarry; sometimes referred to as The Spine or Mordor. The 200 yard
long stretch of trail has widened significantly over time and needs some work to
repair damage from rain and overuse.
9:00 to Noon. Staging area TBD. Same format as La Costa with food, schwag and
lot' s of education about how YOU can make a difference.
