Hey all, next weekend, the 21st & 22nd of August we'll be headed to our other two adopt-a-roads, Kingston Peak and Jenny Creek, for a combination of trail running, surveying, clean-ups, and possible Forest Service assistance. We have synchronized with the Boulder Ranger District and more details to follow on what, if any, we'll be doing with them. But in any case this will be another big club event this year to get out and engage with our beloved adopted trails, Jenny Creek and Kingston Peak; NO WE WILL NOT be rolling crushed trucks down a hill.
Activities will include at least 2 groups running trails- usually one crew on Kingston Peak and a another crew, on Jenny Creek. However, I will work out those details over the next week. We'll be doing the standard campsite surveys, cleanups, also looking for evidence of new route creations, etc. Similar to the Argentine Clean Up Day there may be some sort of greeter program that Boulder Ranger District may also want to do. More specifics to follow, but some type of hanging out at the bottom talking to the other users who came out to enjoy our trail this day, sharing maps, directions, tips for cool spots, info on the Club and TLCA, and trail etiquette. You can be involved in any or all parts of this. But this has yet to be determined.
There will also be camping- Saturday night after day 1 of clean up. We plan to partake in all types of family-friendly shenanigans and everyone is welcome and encouraged to camp out. We could also host a night run, or bring a mountain bike or motorcycle, do some hiking, but feel free to make a weekend of it.
This is of course open to anyone, and active members can use their participation towards next year's club dues, under our All Access program. And if you're new to this group and/or have never been up Kingston Peak or Jenny Creek, these are great trails to be a part of and a great way to get to know some folks in your club a little better, or meet some folks in the club for the first time. We'll meet at 8:30, try to roll out by 9:00, and you can be back in town whenever you need to be back in town. More details to follow, please post up your questions & interest.
Hope to see you on the trail next week.
