This Sunday morning, a group of trail workers, made up of trail runners, hikers, and mountain bikers, gathered to enjoy some breakfast and a free cup of joe from the good folks at The Meteor Cafe. Plans were made and by 9 am we were headed to Allsopp Park to improve a new trail section begun by Central Arkansas Trail Alliance last year. The java was appreciated as about 15 volunteers began taking care of various issues with the trail. A dip in the trail was cleaned up giving hikers, trail runners, and mountain bikers a smooth transition and a little air if you're so inclined. Some off-camber sections got some sweet bench cutting allowing trail users a more comfortable turn around the hill. As the morning went on, the sun started peeking out shining it's approval on the work. It turned into a beautiful day in the woods. Beverages were made available from 107 Liquor, Angry Dave's Bicycles, and Lost Forty Brewery to reward our work. (Special thanks to Brett Budolfson for working with our sponsors.) Just in case you missed out, the next trail party is on Sunday, February 25, 2018 at Reservoir Park in Little Rock. Sorry guys, this is a ladies only dance. Also, in two weeks, on Sunday, March 4, 2018 is the new trail build at Pfeifer Loop in North Little Rock, we welcome all help.
