Let's finish the Buffalo Creek black diamond trail this season!

June 19th was a busy weekend in Buffalo Creek with COMBA's volunteer crew building new trail and the Bailey HUNDO racing on the adjacent local singletrack. While Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski and Sonya Looney were on winning rides in the HUNDO, COMBA's volunteer trail builders built singletrack to the top of the ridge where the black diamond descent will begin. Thank you again to all of our hard-working volunteers and racers for a job well-done.

Our next workday will be on Saturday & Sunday July 24th and July 25th. The July weekend will focus on building singletrack between the two granite ridges that the black diamon trail traverses. We will also refine sections of lower Charlie's Cutoff built during the May build weekend. This will be a weekend event with beer and brats provided on Saturday evening. Come catch up with your friends -- or make some new ones -- in Buffalo Creek on the 24th and 25th!

In the Fall 2008, a group of local riders led by Keith Clarke and Stu Miller flagged a trail corridor which climbs to the top of a rocky ridge before descending back into the valley.  Construction began last year with volunteers contributing over 1,000 hours of work, but there is still much to be done. 

We have ten trail building days scheduled for this year: 4/17, 5/22 & 23, 6/19, 7/24 & 25, 8/21, 9/11, 9/25 and 10/16. The events on 5/22-23 and 7/24-25 will be back-to-the-basics camping weekends held at the Miller Gulch Trailhead. Note that our original opening trail buildig day on 3/27 has been canceled due to weather.

Please join us by RSVP'ing for one of our volunteer trail building days or find out more about the project.
