The Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers (RFOV) is asking you and others of the Aspen Cycling Club to continue the commitment to maintaining the trails we ride on.

Trails Day participation is required to be eligible for end of season points. While race points will no longer be awarded for Trails Day we strongly encourage our members, both trail and road brethren, to give back to the community by participating in the schedule ACC Trails Day or a substitute day.

ACC Trails Day: SNOWMASS, Rescheduled for Wednesday, September 11, 2019 from 5:00-7:30 PM
Meet at the Snowmass Town Hall at 5:00 PM (west of the Clark’s/Town Center building). Please make every effort to arrive by 5:00 but if you can’t make it by then we will have a volunteer stationed at check-in until 5:30 PM. Please ride, take the bus, park in garage (free) or park at Snowmass center in lower section (not at Clark’s level) so shoppers are not inconvenienced. Bring gloves, water, insect repellent, rain gear and wear appropriate clothing. New this year is there is ONLY an online waiver (no paper). RFOV will have iPads at check-in but the more people who can complete the waiver before hand the better. Please write “Aspen Cycling Club” where it says group project name. The online waiver can be found here: http://rfov.org/2019-projects/rfov-season-waiver/

Waivers completed for the previous (canceled) Trails Day remain valid – if you filled one out last time you don’t have to fill it out again, just show up.

As always we’ll enjoy pizza and beer afterwards – compliments of the club!

Substitute “Trails Day”
While you are encouraged to participate in the ACC Trails Day if you cannot make it on that date you can still do your part in helping maintain our trails and receive your Trails Day credit. Simply sign-up to join any of the RFOV Public Projects* that happen before the cutoff date below, download & print the ACC-RFOV Trail Work form, and bring it with you to the project. A minimum of 3 hours work is required to receive points credit. At the completion of the project ask the RFOV supervisor to sign your form. All forms must be submitted to the ACC Results Coordinator within 7 days of the substitute project. The final cutoff to submit forms is 5:00 PM Wednesday, September 11. Forms will not be accepted after that time – no exceptions!

* It has to be one of their public projects – sorry, you can’t kill two birds with one stone by participating in a SkiCo or similarly sponsored project.
