If you are coming to the first workday we will meet at the last group camp site.Try to be a little early if possible maybe 12:45ish. If you don't have a state park vehicle pass tell them at the office.You'll receive a volunteer pass for the day.

From the group camp we will either bike or hike in . It's about 1.5 miles to the worksite. Please come ready to be in the woods.

Some items you might want to bring:

• bike


• bug spray


• gloves


• safety glasses or sunglasses


• water


• snacks


• camera


• frosty beverages for after the work is done

If you have a trailer and trail tools bring those too. If you are like most people, and don't own your own pulaski and Mc Leod contact us so we can bring the tools out for you.

Most importantly come ready to learn, work on sweet single track, and enjoy being in the woods.

Hope to see you there!

Trail Building Basics

This gives the basic steps for creating a fully benched trail. These are the steps we take to create trail that will stand up to the weather and use.

Tools of the trade

Looking forward to getting the trail building season going.

• We will start the Sunday May 10th 1-4pm(weather permitting) and ever Thurdays afternoon for the full season from 3:30 pm to ??? duskish.
• We will also build Sunday May 24th 1-4pm

• Please Email with questions: croniestrailcrew@gmail.com, and keep looking here for updates and info on building dates, times and progress.
  

Here are the tools you should be using for building trail.


The top photo is a Mcleod rake the bottom a pulaski. A standard rake and flat shovel sometimes help too. But ultimately these two tools do the bulk of the work.

Last Work day of 2008
