Corral is ready for the coming year of fun and abuse! Saturday 18 May could not have been better for working on the Lower Corral Trail…cool temps, lots of volunteers, and moist soils. 37 volunteers, 6 packs of hot dogs, a pony keg of South Lake Brewing’s Trail Builder Ale, and two plate compactors made it a great dirt day!

On top of that, volunteer sawyers have removed over 30 trees from local trails. We’ve also done countless other minor maintenance to trails to make them ride fast and allow them to weather future stormwater.

So what did TAMBA do for you and your community this year?…uh, a lot! We finished the Incline Flume, Red House Flume, and Lake View trails. We created the new Tamarack and Stanford Rock trails.We added a gonzo optional route on the Stinger Trail and adopted a new section of Powerline Trail. TAMBA has started work on an ambitious project connecting Angora Lakes to Lily Lake near Fallen Leaf Lake, called the Lily Lake Trail. Finally, TAMBA did maintenance on numerous trails including Corral and Toad’s. And we had fun doing it.

———–There’s still trail work opportunities continuing this year. Please click here or go to our facebook page for more.————

Next year we’ll continue adding miles to the Stanford Rock Trail, we’ll do our best to get the Lily Lake Trail rideable, and we might work on connecting the Powerline Trail to Railroad Grade. So cancel the cross training membership and volunteer for trail work days!

Construction on both Stanford Rock and Lily Lake Trails are continuing until snow prevents further work. Both projects could benefit from your help. Check our events calendar or our Facebook page for the latest.  Below is a promotional video on the Lily Lake Trail work

Our final trail day is this Saturday on lower Corral. Please meet at the Toads parking area on Fountain Place Road at 9am. We’ll work until 1pm then break for lunch, beer, and prizes. Please wear long pants, long sleeves, eye protection, gloves, and a helmet. BRING YOUR BIKE to ride to the end work area because the bridge is still not open.

In addition, at 5pm, The Hangar in South Lake Tahoe is hosting Bikes & Beers to benefit TAMBA. Join us for the grand opening of a kid’s balance bike track, beer, free popcorn, a movie, and raffle of a Specialized Bicycles RipRock 24″ mountain bike valued at over $500.  We’ll party until 10pm.
