## Details
What: Join us at Cline Butte Rock Pit Trailhead. We are looking to finish the brand new XC climbing trail connecting the trailhead to the XC Buttes trail without the seasonal raptor closer. This trail is also an easy climb for the bigger suspension bikes to be able to get to the top of DH 1, 2, 3 without having to hike a bike.
Where: The group will be meeting at the Cline Rock Pit Trailhead off of Cline Falls Road, Redmond, OR 97756. We will hike in to the build site from there. Your Crew Leader will discuss the exact work area location on the day of your event.
When: Please arrive 5-10 minutes early, so we can have an on time start. If anyone is running late or gets lost, please call or text your Crew Leader.
What to expect: After meeting with your Crew Leader, the group will have a short safety and work overview briefing. From there, the group will gather tools and hike to the work area. Be prepared for hard work, and to have FUN! We love talking about the trails and the techniques used to maintain them, so ask questions if you have them.
Cancellation: Plan on working rain or shine. If there is inclement weather, smoke from wildfires, or anything COTA deems dangerous, your COTA Crew Leader will update this meetup page and a message will go out. If you do not hear from your COTA Crew Leader, the event is on. If still in doubt you can call or text your Crew Leader.
What To Bring:
- Warm clothes (layers, rain jacket, etc in case of inclement weather)
- Sunscreen/chapstick
- Water
- Snacks
- Sturdy, close toed shoes
