While your club leadership enjoys mountain biking in other areas of the country, remaining members are keeping a close eye on the trails in El Paso. Every Wednesday, the guys from Rough Rider are working at the West Side Rec Center off High Ridge (3 Hills) putting in some sweet jump lines. They’d love your help. There are also some trails being built on the hills surrounding the park. Volunteer groups are showing up and haphazardly constructing trails. If you want to help out, please contact Arlen Bowden as he is going to be flagging future trails in the area. If you want to help with the jumps, contact Hunt Burdick.
Keep an eye out for the volunteer bike patrol this summer. John Duffy, Adrian Urias, and Richard Gonzalez are wrapping up their certifications and will start racking up volunteer hours. If anyone else is interested in earning some easy volunteer hours by being an IMBA certified patroller, contact bmbaelpaso@hotmail.com and we’ll set up another park volunteer training for the end of the summer.
Stay hydrated and have fun this summer.
