From our friend Danny Forer at the Bicycle Trails Council (BTC):
Saturday Jan 26 – Last Trailwork Day of the Season
The trails at Tamarancho, were built by volunteer cyclists, under the direction of Jim Jacobsen, and the Bicycle Trails Council of Marin. It took 6 years to build the 8 mile loop.
Each winter, since the completion of the loop, in 2001, volunteer bicyclists, do trailwork to maintain, and improve the trails.
This winter, volunteers, including HS students on their mountain bike teams, and the Forest Knolls Freewheelers, and many other individuals, built 3 small bridges, removed invasive plants, cleared down trees from the big storm, and improved drainage on the trails. If you have been on the trails recently, I am sure you notice what great shape they are in.
The last trailwork session of this season, is this Saturday, January 26. We will be working on White’s Hill Trail, and Porcupine Trail. These trails are on Marin Open Space land, and provide access to Tamarancho. We are looking for a large turn out to improve drainage, and remove invasive plants, to benefit all trail users.
Support bike legal singletrack in Marin. Help improve the trails. No experience necessary.
