SKILLS AREA WORKDAY A HUGE SUCCESS |
|
Written by Mark Rosenzweig

Thanks to all whose efforts are leading to the rebirth and refinement of the skills area. We had a great turnout, and accomplished so much. While one crew was digging holes and planting Hawthorne trees, the other was sculpting the new, improved pump track. Fortunately, the rains held off so that we could work all morning. The Hawthorne trees will form a beautiful, lush but effective living hedge “fence” to keep riders from wandering into the nearby gravel pit.
The pump track with improved design promises to be a favorite feature of the park and skills area. We thank the following volunteers:
Bruce Hayward Rick Williams Sue Williams Barb RosenbergJoe Harding Alan Harding Mary Lee Mark Rosenzweig Michelle Weiler Luke Weiler Jim Mansfield Tom SchlaeferKen Warner Cullie Warner Jon Brown Cirnan BrownMark Dunn Ben Dressner Lila Warner Brendon Sbordone Chris Zdep John Kosko Brian Emelson Lou Eichel

Brian Emelson and the Town of Victor—for the continuing support and hospitality to make it all happen; and the materials, equipment, expertise and guidance

An IMBA Message
Two Great Opportunities to Improve New York Mountain Biking
Help Protect Mountain Biking at Catskill Park
The new Catskill Park State Land Draft Master Plan includes several improvements that will protect and enhance mountain biking. The New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) needs your support if these bike-friendly provisions are to be included in the final plan.
Tell State Parks to Improve Trail Opportunities
IMBA urges New York mountain bikers to complete a State Parks online survey about their park experiences. State Parks manages several good trails, but there is room for substantial improvements across the state.
