Winter Trail Work at Tamarancho
Give Back to the Trails You Love to Ride
The trails at Tamarancho were built over a 6-year period by local volunteer cyclists. The construction was paid for and coordinated by the Bicycle Trails Council of Marin (BTC), with president Jim Jacobsen supervising the project. Each year since the construction, BTC coordinates trail work days to maintain and improve the trails. This involves improving drainage, cutting back foliage, removing invasive plants, building bypass trails and more. No experience is necessary. This is your chance to help the best bike-legal trail system in Marin.  Dates Saturdays and Sundays, January 4 & 5, January 11 & 12, January 18 & 19, and January 25 & 26. Time/Location Saturday trail work starts at 10 a.m. and meets in the center of camp. Sunday FLOW trail work starts at 9:30 a.m. and meets at the junction of Broken Dam and B-17 trails. You can drive up to the center of camp or ride your bike. Give yourself ample time to get to meeting location. Bring Work clothes, sturdy shoes, gloves. We supply all tools, snacks, and drinks.
Rain
Steady rain cancels.

Flow Trail News
Update by Dave Simon
 Construction began on Tamarancho's flow trail "Endor" a year ago. The trail has been very popular with riders and has been in heavy use for over six months. Considering the dry conditions during trail construction the trail has held up to the heavy use very well. A water system was created by Jim Jacobsen to ensure that many of the berms were not affected by the dry weather. This system worked very well and currently serves 12 of 18 berms on the trail. Plans are in place to expand the system in the future.
Trailwork to maintain the flow trail will held on Sundays this winter Jan 5, 12, 19, and 26 starting at 9:30am.
Everyone is encouraged to help with the trail work this winter making Endor even better than last year.

 Tamarancho Bike Shorts
A new cell phone tower (built by Verizon) was constructed over the summer at the camp, so expect 5 bars from Verizon when riding at the camp. We love dogs, but not at Tamarancho. Please leave the mutt at home. With winter rain, the trails become more difficult. Remember that Tamarancho is rated "advanced" by BikeDudes Maps. Do not bring friends who are inexperienced to ride the trails. Also, with winter storms there can be downed trees on the trails. If you find a tree down, blocking a trail, please send an email to Danny Forer. This email is also on the Boy Scout web site on the Tamarancho Biking page. If possible please include tree location and if a handsaw or chainsaw will be required. There are rumors that a new trail that will be built in 2014. Like the flow trail it will be downhill only. Have a great 2014. Peace on dirt. |
