Yo. So remember when we told you riding at Phil's was a bad idea because it's still super soft out there and you'll leave ruts that will remain all season? Some misdirected souls have continued to do so. This Saturday COTA is hosting a work party to repair the damage. They'll provide snack and drinks (and Deschutes beer afterward) and tools, you provide the manpower.

Meet at Phil's Area trailhead at 10am on Saturday, March 23. Volunteers will work on Ben’s Trail, Phil’s Trail, and Marvin’s Gardens.

Here's what you need for all COTA trail work events:

All participants are required to have the following protective clothing and equipment:

-Sturdy shoes or boots
-Gloves
-Eye protection with clear or light colored lens
-Long pants

Due to COTA’s insurance requirements and the inherent dangers of trail work, we must implement the following policy regarding children at work events:

-For anyone 14 years of age or younger, we require one parent, guardian, or responsible adult for supervision of every four kids attending any COTA trail work events.
-All minors under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian available to sign our waiver.
