Red River Gorge: 2nd Annual Johnny and Alex Trail Day
Summersville Lake. Photo by Derek Good © 2005Slade, KY.- Mark your calendars and plan on attending the event that honors two of the Red River Gorge's finest contributors, the late John Bronaugh and his son, the late Alex Yeakley.
To help carry on John's vision of the area, there will be route development and trail maintenance to the new areas. This is a great way to give back to an area that we all use and enjoy.
When: August 5th and 6th, 2006
Where: All around Sore Heel Hollow Areas
What: Trail Day, Bolting Clinic, Mountain Bike Trail Development, and Mtn Bike/Climbing Switch.
Camping and After Party: Lago Linda’s
As most of you know mountain bike trail development has been started in the area and the RRGCC has received funding from the mountain bike community. This will hopefully be a beneficial partnership for both user groups. We have a couple miles of trails tagged and started and will be working these trails as well. These trails will be open for trail running and general hiking too.
The after party will be held at Lago Lindas and will have plenty of entertainment. Events include slip and slide drag races, slack line demos, water gun wars, live music, drinks and food.
On Sunday, finish up with a few trail chores, send the routes that were bolted, and enjoy the bikes available for climbers and climbs ready for bikers!
