Work Party April 2016

Trans-Cascadia, Shimano and Santa Cruz joined together in Cascadia Oregon to work on the trails for the 2016 race. After a hard winter and lots of wind, we have our work cut out for us, literally, we will be doing the cutting and rehab on the trails as well as opening up a new piece here or there. 

Some of the machines that we will take with us to get our bodies and tools to the trails.

Our 2016 trail Boss Derrick Bell, giving us instructions for the day.

Last year’s winner and Santa Cruz marketing manager working hard together rebuilding a berm to keep everyone on track through this steep section.

Finished product!

we had to continue on bike after the road became impassable

The winter has been tough on our Northwest trails and is still fighting to hang on in April as we head off in search of the trailhead

so many trees down… 

A fine dinner after a cold hard days work is welcomed, Westfir Lodge has been our gracious host for this trip, thanks to Dawn and Chad! See you again soon.
