A tire’s width of trail is about all you’ll find in a handful of spots along the Shoreline section of the Foothills Trail, a well-traveled trail used by mountain bikers, hikers, and runners alike. With the generous amounts of rain Mother Nature has bestowed on our region, the trail has dangerously eroded away in several spots.
On Saturday, August 15th at 8 a.m. Overland Mountain Bike Club will host a trail maintenance day in conjunction with personnel from Larimer County. The goal for the day will be to re-route a portion of the trail, fix sections where drainage problems have caused ‘bog-like’ areas after rains, and armor a section or two to prevent further problems.
We’d love to invite you all to grab a shovel, a Pulaski or a McCloud and come out and help. Overland will supply lunch and tools. Please wear long pants, sturdy shoes, gloves and bring plenty of water. Meeting place is the Rotary Parking Lot off of Centennial. (Rotary is the parking lot at the top of Maxwell – The ‘A’ Trail) In order to plan for food, please email: dpmbp2008 (at) gmail.com.
Hope you can come out and help us make Shoreline even more enjoyable. Ride on.
