Pedernales Falls State Park TRAIL GRAND OPENING BUILD & RIDE!

The plan is to build in the morning, have lunch, then ride in the afternoon. There will be a grand opening ceremony of some type right after lunch at ride start. Details to follow.

BRING YOUR PAYDIRT FORMS! http://www.tmbra.org/paydirt/paydirt.htm

The completed sections of the new trail were a hit at the 2014 Cranksgiving! BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! We are putting the finishing touches on 5+ more miles of trail of sweet singletrack!

These sections have lots of elevation changes, G-outs and winding flowy features.

NO TRAIL BUILDING EXPERIENCE NEEDED! Austin Ridge Riders will provide tools & guidance for volunteers, as well as Lunch and prizes to volunteers after the build. Volunteers get into the park for free on trail building days.

MEET PROMPTLY at the time shown at the Park Headquarters. Don't be late as it will be difficult to find us once we head to the trail. After meeting up, we will drive to a staging area. At the staging area we will go over the build plan, methods, tools and safety procedures before hiking to the build area.

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 container to carry with you.

There are still a few stumps to remove, some cut brush to drag further into the woods and some rock work and bench cutting and shaping in the mix.

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 will be enjoyed by riders for generations.

Miles of trail that just needs fine tuning to be in great shape for riding.
