Next LGP Trail Work Day - Saturday, March 13th
Okay, let's see if we can get this (work) party started! Our first trail work day of the season will be Saturday, March 13th. Meet at 8:30 AM at the Harford Road lot on the Baltimore County side. We'll be working on the winter-damaged flats. Gloves, sturdy shoes and water are recommended. Face coverings will be required when social distancing cannot be maintained. Bikes are optional, but may be handy for those going deeper into the trail system. Since our first trail work day of the season tends to draw a large turnout, we've created a sign-up sheet to try and limit the group to around 30 volunteers, in the interest of health and safety. So if you're confident you can attend, please place your name on the sign-up list linked below. Hope to see you there!

Freeze/Thaw Cycles Still In Effect - Ride Early
To put it simply, overnight frozen trails will turn to a soupy, muddy mess as direct sun hits them and temperatures rise. This occurs regardless of recent rain. It is recommended to use the trails early, before 10 AM or so, while the trail bed is still frozen and solid.

Gunpowder Mill Racers Youth Mountain Biking
Did you know that we have a youth mountain biking team in our area? The Gunpowder Mill Racers are a youth mountain biking team, based in the Fallston, Md area, with members from all areas north and east of Baltimore. The team is one of 20 (and growing) in the Maryland Interscholastic Cycling League (MICL), which operates under the principles and guidelines of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA). Coach registration has just opened for the upcoming season and student-athlete registration opens April 1st! Last year, we got 50 middle and high schoolers out on bikes and helped them build a passion for mountain biking. There were lots of smiles and a whole lot of accomplishment and we’re ready to do it again! If you're interested in riding, have kids interested in riding or would like to help out, please email us at gunpowdermillracers@gmail.com for more information. |
