20 4:00 pm: Trail Love - Upper Codell April 20, 2021 4:00 pm – 9:00 pm I Wanna Rock! The general goal of rockwork on Upper Codell is to keep the trail narrow and challenging. Sign up to show your TRAIL LOVE for the trails that love you! The sign up on the city's site is live on this link. If the work day is full, you can sign up to be on a wait list, in case we expand the number of crews. At MWTA the safety of our volunteers (while working on trails - you're on your own when riding them!) is our highest priority. In addition to our typical trailwork tool safety considerations, we follow El Paso County Health guidelines for COVID considerations during Trail Love workdays. MWTA limits crew size, works only outside, and makes use of masks and social distancing to reduce risk of transmission. Please do not attend the workday if you suspect you have been exposed, if you exhibit any symptoms, or if you are unable to comply with our safety guidelines. THANK YOU!
