Bob Kline would like us to participate at the next work day finishing the preparation of the area for Momentum pros to come in to construct the first segments of the bike track. Come to the Bike Park area on Saturday, April 13, from 10 am to 1 pm. Feeding the chipper and clearing some more debris clearing from the jumplines, pump track and skills area is on the work list. With enough folks, work can get done quickly. Bring work gloves and hydration and take poison oak precautions if you are sensitive just in there is any left in the worksite. If you have rakes, garden rakes, or pitch forks please bring them to supplement the BONC tools. Meet at the dog park; for more information check their Facebook page: Gateway Bike Park.
