Platte Work Day

A little word from Jose'

The bacon ride kicks-off this Sunday, June 10th!

This weekly, Sunday morning ride can be described best by Mark Savery as pure sweet bacon.

Meet at the Wild Turkey parking lot (east end of Platte River State Park) at 7:00am.
After riding a few laps we meet back in the parking lot at 9:00am (Horse rides start at 9:00am and last until 4:00pm EVERY day).
From this point, follow the smell of bacon to the restaurant lodge just up the hill!
Enjoy this breakfast buffet while over-looking the Platte River and chatting with your extended family of Nebraska's finest trail builders, elite racers, shop mechanics, bacon connoisseurs and vegetarians alike.

We need your help!
I've been getting emails from folks who have been out to the park lately, and it sounds like the trails could use some love.
Excessive winds and rain have brought down tree branches and sparked weed growth since the Battle Royale.
Horses have somehow trampled deep into precious single-track which will be brought up to park officials after I photograph the damage.

Here's the Plan:
Saturday, June 9th
Meet @ 9am
WIld Turkey Parking Lot
Work on trails 'till Noon

What to bring:
Weed Whackers/Gas
Gloves
Water
Bug Spray
Money for Buffalo Burgers @ the Lodge

(We need at least 1 chainsaw)

Please spread the word - and that word is

Bacon.

I can't make it Sunday but let me know if it doesn't all get done and I can help out next Friday or Sunday.

Thanks for all the work you have done and continue to do on these trails Jesse.

Sounds like Jesse and MG were the only ones to show.

Jesse and I were talking about a mid-week wack session.

I could make Thursday night work, maybe trial work for a hour or so and then some knock out a few laps. That way I can ride with MG since he's not racing this year?
