It's the same day and time as RTF's own monthly work party, but that just means two great opportunities to show some Valentine's Day love for local trails. The Charlottesville Area Mountain Bike Club is hosting a special work party at Ragged Mountain. We won't begrudge anyone picking one over the other. . . just as long as you get out and help out!

What: First ever CAMBC/City of Cville workday at Ragged Mountain. Help punch in a critical section of trail that gets us closer to having the first loop around the reservoir. How good is that? At 9, we'll have a very short briefing on safety, project overview, and logistics.

When:  9am-Noon, with a grill-out after

Where:  Ragged Mountain dam parking lot, just west of Charlottesville out Fontaine Avenue. Note that this is not the old lower parking lot, but the upper, new one. If you aren't sure, keep going uphill past Camp Holiday Trails until the road ends at the dam. We need to haul people to the work site, which is about a mile away. If you have a 4WD vehicle, please bring it to help haul people from the parking lot.

Notable extra: For those that can stick around, CAMBC will be supplying a simple grill-out after we are done, at the parking area. Nice! Bring a plate so we don't generate a bunch of trash.

What to bring: If you have any trail tools (especially digging tools like rogue hoes, pulaski's, digging hoe, etc) bring them. We don't know how many folks are planning to attend, so bring whatcha got. Wear hiking boots and prepare for cold. Bring work gloves.
