ARR Trail Crew - Grip Hoist Training at Walnut Main Creek Crossing (Fri 1:30pm)

Please sign this waiver before participating in ARR Trail Crew workdays.

This Friday we will be conducting a Grip Hoist training. Grip Hoist is a heavy duty manual mechanical system for pulling large objects like boulders across the ground. The boulders at the Main Creek Crossing at Walnut Creek Metro Park simultaneously provide an area upstream for dogs to play and a shallower area for bikes to cross (and hikers can walk).

• Meet at the pool lot near the kiosk. If you arrive late head down to the Main Creek Crossing.
• Wear long pants, boots or shoes you don't mind getting wet
• Please bring eye protection!
• We will provide gloves

Austin Ridge Riders is your local not-for-profit Mountain Bike Club. ARR builds and maintains the trails we all enjoy in Austin and Central Texas. If you are not yet a member of ARR, please consider joining! You may also make a donation to our Trails Fund via Paypal or Venmo!

The vision for Walnut trail work is a combination of routine maintenance (clearing face slappers, fixing erosion/drainage issues, etc.) as well as adding flow and fun (berms, rollers, log features) while continuing to recognize the trails' multi-use status (hikers, runners, dogs, etc.).
