Awesome weather and prime building conditions made CITA’s first work day of the Spring at Banner Trails a great day of building. Work continues on the north side of Summerset State Park on intermediate and advanced trail where CITA will host its first IMBCS race in June. Most of the morning was spent mowing, cutting and chopping underbrush down on several ridgelines that will be...

Pay no attention to the sleet and rain… It shouldn’t affect our work this weekend.
Some useful information:
We’re clearing trail corridor on Saturday… That means cutting out vegetation with chainsaws, handsaws, loppers, etc. Please bring this equipment if you have it. We will have some of these tools available, too.
This is relatively light work… Still, you’ll...

from Pete Basso:
A fairly large group of us rode all of the Center trails this morning but by 9:30am things were starting to get really greasy.?

Makes for a leg killer.? With the recent ice...

Snow is melting; the ground is thawing. We start it up again at Summerset on Saturday, March 29…
Time to unleash the fast stuff — bermed corners, kickers, etc. — as we open up about a mile of ridgeline trail on the north end. We’re working every other weekend through May 24.
Keep those mornings open for construction and plan to ride each day when we’re...
