We had an amazing trail work day on Stanford Rock on Sunday! A trail work “strike team” of six volunteers made the 7-mile, 2,000 vertical foot climb to the work location to craft sweet flowing singletrack. We were treated to an inversion layer and temps in the mid-60s up top. (A welcome change from last week when a sudden squall with 50mph+ winds and sleet chased us off the mountain).

A reminder that we’ve got one last trail work day on Wednesday. We’ve got tools for 6-8 people staged at the work location and could use a 2-3 more volunteers. Trail work at the work location will be from 11am-3pm.

E-mail crew leader sandor@tamba.org to RSVP. Sandor will haul up fresh baked cookies and snacks to the summit! 🍪

STANFORD ROCK TRAIL
Sunday, Oct. 10 • 11am-3pm
Wednesday, Oct. 13 • 11am-3pm

We need a small strike team of volunteers on Stanford Rock Trail to finish one last section before winter. TAMBA is building the section of logging road bypass between Stanford Rock Summit and Twin Peaks. Swipe for map.

More flowy singletrack with great views. Less nose-to-handlebar logging road climb! 👏🏻

We have tools for 6-7 volunteers staged at the work location (about 8200’). We will be working between 11am-3pm to allow it to warm up (and volunteers to make the climb up).

Please RSVP by emailing Sandor Lengyel at sandor@tamba.org as we have a limited number of tools at the work location. Bring warm clothes, long pants, gloves, helmet (bike helmet okay). Plan on a 1-1.5 hour ride in to the work location.

We will have water and snacks at the work location.

We’ve started to repair sections of trail impacted by dozers during the #caldorfire suppression efforts. Yesterday 18 volunteers scratched in new trail tread on Powerlines Trail behind the neighborhoods of South Lake Tahoe. Next week we’ll be hosting another volunteer trail day, hopefully with more moisture in the dirt from the rain in the forecast. Stay tuned for details.
⛏️
At this time the we are only able to work outside of the burn area and limited by the number of crew leaders to lead volunteers. Big thanks to the crew leaders at the @tahoerimtrail who are also helping rebuild sections of trail in this area, you can look for additional volunteers opportunities through their webpage.

This year would have been the 11th annual Rose to Toads – but last month Toads burned in the Caldor Fire, and last year kicked us with a pandemic. Despite that we decided to move forward with a smaller shorter ride today, dubbed Rose to Stinger. About 3 dozen riders joined us and raised $5000 to be used in the rebuilding of Toads next year. They donated their entry fee from the original event planned in September and joined us for a fun ride today capped off with a BBQ on the beach.

Long live Rose to Toads, although it will be very different in future years.

Thanks to @tamba_amy for organizing, Max Jones at @flumetrailbikes for the shuttles, Chris at @southlakebrewco for post ride drinks, and Wes King at @tahoetrailbar for keeping everyone fueled on the ride!

Today was the first day that TAMBA was able to walk Powerline Trail with the USFS to assess dozer damage from the #caldorfire and flag trail alignments that have been destroyed. This is the first place outside of the burn area we will be able to work on this year. The neighborhood connectors have been impacted the most by dozer lines and we already have new alignments flagged. We were glad to see the bridge over Heavenly Creek intact and the channel repaired.
🌲
Please be on the lookout for trail days in the very near future to work on rehabilitation and trail reconstruction. These areas are in the Caldor Fire Closure Area and access is permitted only for sanctioned volunteer work events.
