Want a preview of the new singletrack that will likely be the site of next year's Picketts Charge? C'mon out and help do the finish work on the new trails at the COTA (Central Oregon Trails Alliance) Biketoberfest trailwork party this Saturday, Oct 4th. These trails are being purpose built for racing and events, and the initial 10 miles that have been built so far this summer are going to be fantastic!

With rain in the forecast for the weekend, conditions should be perfect for doing the finish work on this first Wanoga loop. So come on out an help! Meet at the Mt Bachelor Park and Ride on Simpson at 9AM, work until 2, and then there'll be beer and BBQ at the Wanoga parking lot. Just bring gloves, eye protection, water (and a rake if you have one).

Even if you can only make it up to Wanoga for a few hours, we could sure use your help. Racers, you really should come help with these trails, as they are being built for you and you know you'll be out there riding them a lot.
