Howdy,
I just wanted to take a few seconds, and let everyone know about some upcoming events in the chapter and elsewhere in the MMBA. When available, I've provided links to either a MMBA forum discussion or website with more information on the event.
May 9th and 10th. Stony Creek trail days. Some repairs, and some tweaks of the reroutes put in last fall. 9AM at the F (upper) trail head parking lot.

May 16th. Clinton River trail day. For the trail day we will meet at the Power line access Off Clinton River Road, Just west of Schoenherr. Rakes, Loppers, Shovels, wheelbarrows, and people power will be needed.

These next two events are being held outside of the Metro North chapter, but both events would be highly recommended to someone who would like to work toward being a trail coordinator.
The IMBA Trail Care Crew will be coming to Lansing May 21 - 24 to conduct a Trail Building School at Anderson Park. The visit will include a day of trail assessment and layout (restricted to TCs and those starting a trail in the future), 1/2 day of classroom instruction on suistainable trail building techniques, and 1 day of trail work at Anderson Park. The visit will not be all work...there will be an evening social with beer, and a trail ride to sample your hard earned work.

May 28th-31st, the Western Chapter of the MMBA is hosting the 9th Annual Midwest Mountain Bike Summit. This event includes an IMBA Trail Building School, seminars, food, beer and rides. A great way to meet some great people, learn about building trails, and having some fun. LOTS of information on their website. Again, anybody really wanted to learn about designing, planning and building trails should consider attending this event.
