Last Saturday we had a very productive trail-work day but there still is plenty to do. Opening day is finally here as Phase-1 of Chicago's first Eco-Recreation and Bike Park is opening on November 6th. We still have plenty of work to do and NEED YOUR HELP to prep for opening day and our first CX/Open race to be held on Black-Friday 11/25 as part of the #OptOutside initiative with REI.

Come lend a hand clearing the course for the race and opening day, but also for a safe, rideable and successful park. The infill used to build the park features is not as refined as we orignially had hoped. The infill used got us the terrain and elevation that makes the space unique, unfortunately it is not as filtered as we would like to see for a CX course. 

We only have a few more Saturday's before the race we invite you out for all of them. Help us clear-out rubble and rocks that lay in the path of a potential CX course. We are working to secure the tools (rakes, shovel, wheel barrows, etc) but encourage you to bring your own. FoBM will be on hand to steer the volunteers in the right direction and identify areas that we should focus on. 

I hope to see you there. Bring your muscles and work gloves, mud boots, as well as a snack and water. This is the final push for Phase-1 and is needed in order to have a successful park for Chicago.
