SIU-Edwardsville Trail Building Day

Date: Saturday, January 19, 2013, 9am to 1pm (FREE LUNCH!)

Location: SIU-E, Edwardsville IL

What: NEW TRAIL!!! We have access to an entirely new area of woods across Unversity Dr from the main trailhead. This terrain is very different from the existing trails and promises to be a huge addition to an already great system.

Where: SIU-E Main trailhead (we'll shuttle over to the walk-in)

Take I-255 to the New Poag Rd exit, turn East and follow New Poag to a four way stop intersection, this is University Dr. Turn right, travel about a tenth mile to the first right, a gravel lane. Follow this lane first straight then turning through a quick right/left to the parking lot for the trailhead. Ths area is visible from University Rd.

What to bring: Gloves, Sturdy shoes, eye protection, and hydration.

GORC will provide: Trail building tools, instructions on trail building, and safety guidelines.

Lunch will be provided by The Cyclery of Edwardsville. Please post below if you intend on coming for the lunch count. If you prefer vegetarian, please indicate that as well.

See You There!
