Trail Building
The Colorado Mountain Bike Association is hosting our final Buffalo Creek volunteer day Saturday September 17th. COMBA's volunteers will be celebrating another great season of riding, building and maintaining trails with free food and beer following a morning of trail maintenance on the great trails in Buffalo Creek.
Please join us in giving back to the trails we love while earning deep discounts on outdoor gear through industry insider site ProMotive. Register at the link below to help us plan for the event:

The event will start at 8:30 AM at the Miller Gulch trailhead south of Bailey, CO.

Save the date: Saturday Aug 20th is the next Buffalo Creek trail workday. In August we will be putting crews on both Charlies Cut-off and Blackjack. As always after work food and beer will be provided. Don't forget about the new volunteer rewards program – volunteers accumulating 20 hours of volunteer service this year on any COMBA project will be rewarded with access to ProMotive.com where products hundreds of outdoor manufacturers can be purchased at pro-deal prices.
We had a successfuly weekend in July -- fully signing the Blackjack and Raspberry Ridge, opening a green line around the feature "Split" and closing down some unauthorized go-arounds. We did not have enough volunteers to begin work on "The Strip" so come out in August to help us open this new line and give some love to sections of Charlies Cut-Off
