MTBco's First Trail Cleanup Day and Kelowna area Seasons premieres

May 15, 2008
by Mr. Gnar  
MTBco launches series of trail cleanup events.

On a damp, cool windy Sunday morning five hardened members of MTBco (Mountain Bikers of the Central Okanagan) gave up some precious riding time and cleaned up the whole forest service road area adjacent to the Powers Creek drop in line.Look out for more trail clean up days, starting at Gillard Forest Service Road on Sunday May 25th. There's three times the amount of garbage there, and the service road is twice as long. So, local Central Okanagan riders, we really need your help. Please give us some of your free time !

Justin and Brant clean up garbage we prepared for collection last fall. Now just a few months later, it had twice the garbage accumulated.

 You're right - there was a few beer cans and plastic water bottles around the drop ins but that was minimal. 99% of the crapfest was household junk.
