Bend - TRAIL LOVE on National Public Lands Day - Swampy Lakes area

📍 Meeting Location: Swampy Lakes Trailhead

We’re kicking off our fall season with a big Trail Love and we’d love to have you out there with us. Grab a riding buddy and come join the fun.

We’ll be working on trails in the Swampy Lakes area. There will be a mix of tasks for all skill levels, with a focus on brushing, drainage, and tread repair.

Everyone is welcome. No experience necessary. We currently have very limited tools and PPE for younger kids (under 10). They are welcome to join but please email me in advance to discuss.

We will be asking help from volunteers to carpool up to our work sites.

If you have dietary restrictions and would prefer a salad instead of a sub sandwich, please email alex.brieger@cotamtb.com no later than Wednesday before the event. Please do not message through Meetup.
