Pedernales Falls State Park TRAIL BUILD & RIDE!
Build and RIDE NEW TRAIL that Austin Ridge Riders is building at the park.
EARN PAYDIRT! Bring your forms.
Building in the morning and riding after lunch will be on the agenda for build/ride days now as there is plenty to ride and it needs to be ridden in and evaluated.
Focus of the next trail build day(s) will be the section on the 1100' contour just east of Wheatley Trail on this map: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publicat...4507_0026n.pdf

The meeting/staging area will be on CR 201 just east of the power sub-station where the northern most pipeline corridor (labeled "UTILITY R.O.W" on the map) runs next to CR 201. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publications/pwdpubs/media/park_maps/pwd_mp_p4507_0026n.pdf
Parking/meeting/staging area: Lat: Lon: 30.281390,-98.236130. The trail we are working on is about a 500' walk to the north along a low drainage. The trail is just below the 1100' contour and we will be working on the section west of where it crosses the drainage. (Toward Wheatley Trail)
If arriving late, look for green ribbons in trees leading to the build area. You can try to call me at 450 1139 but reception is spotty in the park.
NO TRAIL BUILDING EXPERIENCE NEEDED! Austin Ridge Riders will provide tools & guidance for volunteers, as well as a prize raffle after the work. Volunteers get into the park for free on trail building days.
If it's been a long time since you have built trail, or if you have never built trail, please give it a try. It's very rewarding to see a new trail take shape that many riders will enjoy for years to come. If it's your first time building trail, you may be surprised how fun and rewarding it is to be part of building a trail that will be enjoyed by future riders for generations.
Wear sturdy shoes and bring gloves if you have them. We have extra gloves for those who need them. Bring your hydration pack or water jug to carry with you.
