Time for Spring Trail Maintenance!

Now’s the Time for Spring Trail Maintenance! 🌱🚴‍♂️

Early spring is the perfect time to get out and give the trails some much-needed attention before the growing season kicks into high gear. With the cooler weather and less vegetation to battle, it’s an ideal window to focus on:

✅ Clearing Debris – Rake off leaves, sticks, and loose sediment that have built up over the winter. A clean tread means better drainage and fewer erosion issues down the road.

✅ Tread Repair – Winter runoff can leave behind ruts, washouts, and soft spots. Now’s the time to reestablish a solid tread and fix any erosion damage.

✅ Drainage Checks – Ensure drains, grade reversals, and rolling dips are clear and working properly. Good drainage now prevents muddy messes later.

By knocking out these tasks early, we can shift focus to weed whacking and vegetation control as spring fully sets in—keeping trails fast, fun, and sustainable all season long.

Grab a rake, a rogue hoe, or just your riding buddies, and let’s get to work! 💪🚵‍♀️
