Past Work and Accomplishments
Annual trail repair projects in
the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area (RNRA), Mount Jumbo and
Sheep Mountain areas. Projects have included organizing volunteer
groups of 10-20 bikers, who have installed drainage dips and
water bars, rerouted trails, removed brush, and even built a
bridge. With grant money, we have also hired Montana Conservation
Crews to do additional trail work. We have tackled major projects
within the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area on the Wallman,
Curry Gulch and Woods Gulch trails. Officially sponsored a 1.5
mile segment of the Woods Gulch trail for annual brush removal
and trail grooming.
Sponsored the Subaru-IMBA Trail
Care Crew to come to Missoula four times. They helped train
volunteers and provided advise on trail maintenance to Forest
Service land managers.
Print and distribute free of
charge to local bike shops, "bicycling etiquette" and
"share the trail" hang tags for attachment to new
bicycles.
Submitted written comment on
trail management scenarios proposed by the Lolo National Forest.
Our position it that through continuing education and proper sign
usage, we can achieve cooperation, consideration and tolerance of
all trail users.
Currently working with the U.S.
Forest Service to develop an outreach program entitled "Share
The Trail" which, through presentations, will introduce
5th-7th graders to the concepts of responsible mountain biking.
Weekly, advertised, member-led mountain bike rides to
promote area trails.
