With only three months to go until the West Midlands’ newest mountain bike trail is launched on the Forestry Commission estate at Cannock Forest, near Rugeley, the organisers have put out a final call for volunteers to help get the trail finished in time.
The ‘Big Build Day’, which is being arranged by Chase Trails volunteers, will run from 10am until 4pm on Sunday 3 January 2010 and anyone willing to help should meet at Swinnerton Cycles Forest Centre, Birches Valley, Cannock Chase.
Experts will be on hand to offer guidance and instruction on trail building and safe working practices, so no experience is necessary. A barbecue lunch and refreshments will also be provided to satisfy all those healthy appetites.
Anyone interested in supporting the project or joining the Chase Trails volunteer group should call Rob Lamb on 07951 135506, visit www.chasetrails.co.uk or check out their new blog for all the latest news and trail building information at http://chasetrails.blogspot.com
The new bike trail is part of a £200,000 project to improve the visitor facilities at the Forestry Commission’s Cannock Forest and will involve developing some new look features added to existing routes.
