3/5 Buttermilk Trail Work

Good morning trail enthusiasts,

Queen knows that fat bottomed girls make the rockin’ world go round but what Freddie Mercury would have known if he rode a mountain bike is that some times fat tired fiends like a well placed skinny here and there. To that end Nathan, Mike, Will & Andrew along with the gracious help of you incredible volunteers will be installing a little TTF as an optional line on the newly reworked boardwalk this Saturday as well as doing a short re-route just past the boardwalk. If you’ve ever sat around and discussed how much cooler JRPS would be with a few more TTFs over beers with your friends this Saturday is your day to come out and help make those wishes come true. The meet up location will be at Reedy Creek again and just like last weekend the guys ask that you park at Reedy and walk or ride on the trail back towards the boardwalk to get to the work site.

What's a skinny you ask? Think of it as a balance beam for bikes - no flips required for the dismount. For those of us that travel the trail sans bike, don't worry, it's not bike exclusive and you can test your balance on your own two feet as well.

What: Buttermilk Proper boardwalk trail work part 2.

When: Saturday 3-5-11 starting at 9am ending usually around 2 but come out when you can for as long as you like.

Where: Park in the Reedy Creek parking lot just off of Riverside Drive and head East (towards Belle Isle/22nd Street) on Buttermilk to the boardwalk (it's only a couple of hundred yards).

Bring: Gloves, work boots or shoes, water or coffee (if that’s your thing), a small snack to keep the blood sugar in check and an open mind.
