Trail day Canceled

As many have heard around town and the recent article in the paper the Coconino National Forest Red Rock Ranger District is considering a closure to cross country travel to mountain bikes. As we all know it is bad riding etiquette to ride rough shod off the trail leaving pointless tracks littering the landscape. What many of you may not know is some great trails could potentially be off limits due to the closure. We have been pushing for no loss of your favorite trails. This coming Monday, February, 11th 5:30 at the RRRD offices just outside of the VOC on HWY179 you will have a chance to hear the details of this potential closure from CNF Staff. The VVCC Board of Directors will have discussion with FS staff and after hearing the details you will have a chance to voice your concerns/ideas.

 The Verde Valley Cyclists Coalition is sponsoring a work day on the Rust Bucket Trail outside of Dead Horse State Park. Come help with trail improvements and reroutes.. Meet at 9:30 on Bill Grey Rd just off of HWY 89A next to:

Immaculate Conception Catholic Church

700 North Bill Gray Road, Cottonwood, AZ

We will car pool in as the road requires a high clearance vehicle.

Volunteers need to come prepared and bring with them: a helmet if available, sun glasses, work gloves, drinking water, lunch, sun screen, a hat, long sleeved shirt, long pants, and wear boots with ankle support.
