Central Oregon Trail Alliance is looking for volunteers for the 11th annual Spring Fling work event.  This event will be held at the Wanoga Event Complex (http://www.cotamtb. com/projects/wanoga-event- complex/) on May 22nd, 2010.  Meet at the old Mt. Bachelor park and ride at 9:00 a.m. to sign waivers, get into a trail crew, then enjoy a breakfast provided by REI.  We will then carpool to the work sites.  This community effort will focus on expanding the new Wanoga trail network with an emphasis on maintaining existing trails and expanding new ones.  Come join COTA to help in expanding this new riding area. Bring your friends and family to help contribute.

Those of you who have ridden the Wanoga trail system realize the potential of this terrain and these trails, but upkeep, maintenance, and further improvements are needed to keep this area running all season long.  Trail work will go on from 9:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. then there will be an after party at Pine Mountain Sports, with a barbeque and a raffle.  So come on out on May 22nd , with nothing more than a positive attitude and motivation to contribute to the improvement of this new and expanding trail system.  COTA will supply tools and trail building expertise.  We’ll see you there!

There’s only one thing better than mountain biking in Bend, OR and that’s riding in Bend, knowing that you helped build and maintain the trails you love.

Please bring a hydration pack with water and a snack.
Be sure to bring appropriate layers to accommodate whatever the weather may be.
