Hang out as we divide into work groups. (We need some experienced trail workers to act as crew leaders)

Be prepared to hike to our work areas in the Mohawk Trail Aera. Please do not ride your bike with a tool in hand. We may be able to have tools driven out to the trails. If that happens we will allow riding to those locations.
All volunteers need to sign the SBCO Volunteer Waiver and turn it in before working starts. Minors need to be accompanied by an adult and have their waiver signed by their parent or guardian.
Your support at this SYV MTB Community Cachuma Lake Trail Work Day is much appreciated. Our focus will be the trails that will be used to host the SoCal Youth Cycling League later in March. If enough volunteers attend we will have a group brush the Sweetwater Trail as well.
12/Noon we’ll all regroup and ride what we worked and go ride Trek Trails on the other side of 154. In order to ride Trek Trails you’ll need to sign their online waiver here trailsatra.com, please pick ride date of 1/12..
Thank you to SBCO Parks and the Cachuma Lake Rangers, the SoCal League and its volunteers and all of you who can find the time to help us out on Sunday, January 12th!
