Trail maintenance Dig days or Ride-Dig-Ride sessions
Option 1. Contact your local bike store to find out when they have their next dig day with us and join in for a day of digging, we usually shoot for a Monday in the Spring or Fall.
Option 2. Join in on the Open Dig Days and ride-dig-ride by joining the dig day WhatsApp group. You’ll get updates on the Spring and Fall itinerary. Usually on the last Friday of the month. All Dig days start at 11am and go on till 3pm. Between these times is open to suit you whenever you get there and want to leave. Email your contact details to join the WhatsApp group – weride@unitedridersofcumberland.com
Option 3. Join the UROC Trail Crew Friday sessions by meeting us at a trail project where we’ll have trail tools for you. We go out every Friday to maintain the trails (unless the weather is a stinker) and sometimes we work on new build projects. email – weride@unitedridersofcumberland.com to arrange a meeting place and time to get there.
See our Trail Care page / Trail maintenance for more dig days and trail building information.
