Daley Ranch Trail work day on April 10th, 2010, was attended by 10 superstar volunteers who were fueled by Clif Bar -who supplied us with Mojo Bars and Clif Drink on the trail. Later they were treated to tasty grilled burgers and cold drinks after the dirty work was done, courtesy of the Trek SuperStore North County. SuperSwag was from Trek SuperStore San Diego.
THANK YOU to everyone who attended and made this possible! This trailwork event was the 3rd and final phase that completed the improvements for the entire 1.2 miles of Crest Trail.

 The turn out in 2009 has been terrific. Thanks to all the volunteers who took the time to give something back to the sport we love. Most trail work events have had at least 20 people and as many as 120. The rangers and land managers are taking notice that SDMBA volunteers work hard and make a difference. Thanks to all who traded their bike for a shovel and our sponsors who generously donate goodies for all the volunteers.

Dear SDMBA Volunteers,
I want to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you for volunteering your time, energy, enthusiasm and expertise on the Rancho La Costa Switchback trail on Saturday, January 10th. I am increasingly impressed by SDMBA leadership and volunteers and by the organized trail events. I see your group being instrumental in keeping trails open for mountain bikers and for helping to increase knowledge and awareness about mountain biking among the various land management agencies, groups, and private organizations |

Trails are what were all about. To help make sure existing trails stay narrow and technically challenging, SDMBA frequently teams with land managers to work on trail maintenance and reroute projects. Land managers generally contract out for the actual construction of new routes, but SDMBA members have a well-earned reputation for trail design expertise and were frequently asked to consult on design and layout. One of the most fulfilling elements of volunteering is being able to design new trails, followed by the satisfaction of actually riding them. Become an expert. Join us for trail work and read up!
To learn more about trail planning and design, consult the following list of trail building books and articles compiled by IMBA as the best available.
