Trail Maintenance and Easy Riding at Walnut Creek Park

OVERVIEW

If you ever use the trails at Walnut Creek Park or plan on using them, you should give back to them. Building new trails and working on existing ones is a great way to appreciate the places you ride as well as acquire/build trail making experience. This, along with every monthly (typically the first Saturday of each month), work day at WCP (Walnut Creek Park) is put on by CAMBC – Charlottesville Area Mountain Bike Club. They provide tools, guideance, and usually granola bars. Please bring work gloves, trail tools if you have any, hiking boots, and plenty of water.

If you work 3 times before the season starts (Memorial Day) you get a free season pass into the park.

We’ll work on the trails from about 10-12, grab a quick energy replenisher, then go for a 1-2 hour casual ride. The club provides the bikes and helmets. You should bring some athletic wear for for the ride, plenty of water (if you wear hiking boots for the trail maintenance, don’t forget to bring sneakers for the ride), snacks, and a lunch if you want.
