OK folks, time to block out Saturday July 26th to give back to the trails from 8 am to noon. I have organized a single track clean-up day at Chino Hills State Park in conjunction with the State Park, Trails4All, and other affiliated groups. It looks like we will have a mixed group of mountain bikers, hikers, and equestrians.
As we expect it to be warm that day, please bring plenty of water, sunscreen, a hat, snacks, and work gloves. Everyone will need to meet at the Equestrian Staging Area. Here's the final schedule. Due to the heat, park officials have decided to start at 6 am. 6:00 a.m. - volunteers arrive and sign in at equestrian staging area 6:30 a.m. – orientation 6:45 a.m. – begin working 12:30 – 12:45 – return and clean up. SHARE has generously offered to provide lunch for all volunteers. ![]() For those who don't know, Bane Ridge is the single track that drops into the Equestrian Staging Area from the north. If there are enough volunteers, hopefully we can also clear Raptor Ridge, a crowd favorite. Here's the official word from the rangers on bringing our own hand tools and power tools: "Bring the gas powered weed whackers but depending on the conditions and weather we may not authorize them. We will decide the day of. Bring your hand tools." ![]() RSVP Here. For us STR peeps, I plan on meeting at the gate around 6 AM to drive into the park with tools and our bikes. You are more than welcome to ride into the park, but if you have tools in hand, this might be kind of difficult. Bring any tools you think may be helpful: shovels, metal rakes, machetes, etc. Get directions to here.

Count me in, but I am already thinking about how should we celebrate our (potential) hard work?

Years ago, they used to have a yearly Poker Ride at CHSP and they used to have regular trail maintenance days too. Anyone know why they stopped? I used to love riding there, but it has gone to Hell in a handbasket the last few years.

Come on out and clear the trails with us Nancy and you can fall in love with CHSP again! I have no problem providing beer and a spot to hang out after we clear the trails and ride. I love this park and I want to see it rideable again.

Things to be prepared for:
HEAT we are going to need a ton of water Ticks, be prepared to pull a few from your legs I would say wear pants but that just makes it harder to find them Poison Oak, I know there's poison oak on east fenceline so you may need to bring some lotion to get off right away
