Avon Trail Work

[Todd H]

I am planning on trimming some of the trails this Saturday. I will be at the maintenance barn about 12:30pm. I spoke to Steve ( head maintenance worker) today and signed a waiver so that I could use their tools. If anyone can help, let me know or talk to Steve at the park. I will post what gets done Saturday.

Thanks for taking car of the trails Todd.

 I was able to get the section of trail that starts out just south of the train trestle to where it comes out at the grassy field by the lower pond. I was also able to get Whipple trail, the loop east of the iron bridge, done.

Spring is lurking around the corner.

I'm new to mountain biking and I don't even own a bike yet, but I love it. I'm interested in helping with this trail system since I live right here in Avon. Wife works evenings so after 6:30 I'm usually free. Sometimes I'm free on the weekends as well, depending on when she works. I had a lot of free time last summer (played disc golf, went running, did some road cycling) and thought I might be able to donate some of it to building this year, plus it would be a chance to network with some local riders. I don't know many people in the area since I'm sort of new to living here. I own no real yard tools other than a hand pruner and a lawn mower so I really don't have equipment but I will help in any way I can.

Seems like the Avon trails are completely nonexistent in these forums so I'm up for bringing it back from the grave. 
Just let me know if there is ever going to be trail building/maintenance here.

Thanks,
Jeff

Anybody have the chance to talk to the new park management?  I haven't so didn't know if they plan to weed eat the trails or if they will allow us to like previous groups.  They are in desperate need in some places.

I have not had a chance to talk with anyone. I am more than willing to help weedeat the trails if anyone can tell me whom to talk with at the park.
