ASR Trail Care

Team,
Great to see everyone who attended the Team banquet on Saturday evening!!
Thanks so much to Phil and Lisa for hosting us again this year.

Just wanted to bring you up to speed on our Team Trail Days and agenda for Spring 2012.
Our team philosophy remains the same as always, to give back to the community and trails that we all love and use.
With that said, your race and trail work volunteer time is always welcome and appreciated towards your individual requirements for race reimbursement.
Team Trails Day will grant you double the hours worked towards that same individual requirement for race reimbursement.
Keep in mind that your individual requirements are as follows:
20 hours of trail work
10 hours of volunteer time
Make sure to report your hours immediately following the event to: mswann@richmondasr.com

Our Team Trail Days for Spring 2012 will be focusing on Camp Brady Saunders (Scout Camp), working along with Ed Jones.
Our first team day is this coming Saturday, January 14th.
I will get back with you later this week with the details.

Our remaining Team Trail days for Spring 2012 are as follows:
February 11th
March 10th

Thanks in advance and looking forward to seeing everyone on the trails!!

Team,
Change to original plans for our first Team Trail Day of the 2010/2011 season.
This coming Saturday, 10/9/2010, Richmons ASR will join Richmond MORE and Nathan Burrell of JRPS to kick up some dust on the trails in Forest Hill Park.
Meet/park behind the school at 9 a.m.

Team,

 

Below are dates that Richmond ASR will be working. These are the team days that are worth double hours which is how we are keeping count.

Even if the points don’t mean anything to you, please consider that they matter to the team in regards to sponsorship and 501C3 status.

It is through these hours that we report our impact on the local community.  In fact, trail hours actually are measured at $10/hour for non-educated (those folks who haven’t been to any trail classes) and $17/hour for educated or certified individuals.

 

But also – these are YOUR trails – if you don’t take care of these trails, they WILL NOT LAST. So please, keep these dates on your schedule and come out and support your team and your trails.

 

We are working with all the local land managers to line up projects/work sites and will impart that info to you as the dates near.

 

Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you not only riding the trails but also maintaining the trails!
