Buffalo Creek
We pushed our luck in April when we completed Blackjack, but it looks like mother nature got us this time. We are canceling this Saturday's Sandy Wash trail day. Not sure if we'll be able to re-schedule before spring, but stay tuned. Thanks to all who registered for this event and to everyone who helped out throughout the year. We'll be back in full force in 2012.
If you still want to play in the dirt, the Golden Bike Park maintenance day is still on! Join us at the GBP this Saturday from 9-12. More details here:

After a successful volunteer workday in September, the US Forest Service has asked us back to Buffalo Creek to perform maintenance of the much loved and much ridden Sandy Wash Trail in Buffalo Creek. With all the wheels, boots, and early season rain, Sandy Wash is in serious need of some trail love. Join us on Saturday, November 5th for an afternoon of trail maintenance, followed by food, drinks and a night ride!
Yes, with Fall here and the days getting shorter it is time for a night ride. Watch COMBA.org for more details.

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
