Thanks to the North Shore Bike Fest, Metro Vancouver and the 14 people who came out to work on the bottom section of Circuit 8 trail!

Kudo's to Dan and Pete from Ticket 2 Ride who came down from Whistler for a morning of trail work. They've never even ridden this trail!

This is an area we would like to see cater to more cross country style riding. A very old trail, the Circuit 8 network has seen some work on the top section by Metro Vancouver. We decided to work on the bottom section to fill in some large ruts and make the trail more in character with the upper section.

Thanks to Metro Vancouver for two workers – Carlos and Kristian – and lunch!

On Sunday October 17^th, the second general trail day on Pangor saw some spectacular results.  Nearly 50 volunteers were on hand at 9am for coffee and muffins supplied by our friends at Different Bikes and Bean Around the World coffee.  CCN and Race Face were both on hand to help with the efforts on the trail showing their support.

Dieter Bahr, Sean Gurke, Peter Morin, Todd Fiander (Digger!) Darryl Marlatt and Daniel Lui led crews to repair erosion, disperse water, as well as slat and string structures in ill repair. 

It was a great turnout to day by a crew of hardworking Shore lovers who put in plenty of effort hoisting logs, cutting slats and nailing stringers to improve the ladder bridges on Pangor.

Lots of progress was made today removing rotten sections and replacing them.  Its a great start, but there's still lots of work to do on our next trail day on Oct 17th.  We hope you can make it out to help with the revitalization of Pangor.

A big thanks to Rob Hlus, Chris Barker and Matt Preston who took the lead on the projects and guided the crews.
