Hello All,
We will be having a trail day at Tranquility on Tuesday Aug 4 to prepare for the race on the 8th. If possible, please bring weed eaters, lopers and rakes. I will have a couple weed eaters/rakes to loan if needed. As always, please bring fluids to drink and long pants and bug spray are recommended. Thank you for your time and efforts to keep our metro trails in excellent shape throughout the season!
Please rsvp in the comments if you can lend a hand.
Thanks!

Tuesday at Lewis and Clark
We’ll need weed eaters and loppers. This will be a maintenance trail day to manage the vegetation growth. I'll get over there early and get started. I'll meet people in the lot at 6pm and give an update of what and where we need it.
Thanks,
Josh
Thanks,

Tuesday Trail Day for July 14th Swanson/Tranquility
Hello everyone,
This time around the TTD is for Swanson and Tranquility on July 14th. Both trails are in need of a trim. Please meet at the trail head at 6pm for Tranquility and 5pm for Swanson. Work time is usually around 2 hours depending on the amount of people. If you show up after 6, just follow the sounds of weed eaters to locate the work crews. Long pants are suggested along with bug spray. Please rsvp in the comments if you can help out and tell us which trail you will be heading to.
We thank you for your time and efforts to keep our trail system in pristine shape!

invitation to learn more about advocacy in Iowa
Wanted to spread the word about an opportunity this weekend. Email me if you're interested in attending!
from Ryan Hanser:
Saturday is not about 'trail school'... It's about all the Iowa clubs getting stronger together -- learning from each other and collaborating across the state. DNR relationships are a common thread, for example...
I strongly encourage you to find someone on your board to make the time to join us -- 9 a.m. to around 3 p.m. Saturday at the downtown library. All other affiliates will be there. And, of course, you're welcome to stay through Sunday for the race ;)
Let me know if I can answer any questions. Hope to see someone this weekend!

Manawa Update (10 June 09)
1. The trail is very saturated with standing water in many places. Give it an extra day or so after it quits raining to let it soak in and firm up, very greasy.
2. Still some logs over trails so ride Alert!
3. Mown and weed wacked.
Slap Dickee on the back and say thanks when you see him next.
