My daughter told me that she saw two IMBA vehicles on I-10 near Las Cruces this morning.  Are they meeting in the city of crosses before coming to El Paso?

Message-ID: <49A18746.8060008@fastwave.biz>

This Saturday, the 28th of February, at 8 am.  We are meeting at the 
northern trailhead of Sierra Vista Trail (Soledad Canyon Road Trailhead) 
to work on restoring Sierra Vista to what is once was:  a fast, 
challenging, and thorn free trail.  We will be working from the north to 
reroute and clean up the heavily eroded rock gardens and the Windmill 
Gravel Slog and I would like to send a pruning team south past the 
'windmill' to work on the white thorn.  Please bring pruning shears, 
rakes, McLeods, pick-mattocks, and B.O.B.s if you got them.  We have 
worked north from the Bishop's Cap Trailhead and now we going to work 
our way south.  We could use all the labor that we can get.  So I would 
appreciate all or any volunteers.

I want to reiterate what Mike is saying.... This trail needs a lot of work.
A few guys can work A LONG TIME and not get it all done. But a lot of riders
can help get a lot of work done. Check your schedule, help give back a
little to what you've enjoyed. These maintenance trips are fun and full of
good work and camaraderie. Hell, I'll buy the first round at the brewery
afterwards.
