Restoring Phase 2

We are truly humbled and inspired by the incredible response from all of you as we work together to restore Phase 2 of our cherished trail system. From the moment we began this journey, you have stepped up and shown your unwavering support through work days, donations, and even getting chainsaw-certified. Your dedication has been nothing short of remarkable, and we cannot thank you enough.

Our progress so far is a testament to the strength of our community. With over 55 volunteers, including 10 chainsaw operators, we have cleared more than 150 trees and logged over 350 hours of hard work. We've also documented various reroutes and bridge rebuilds, and 16 of our volunteers have become certified to operate chainsaws. These achievements are a direct result of your tireless efforts and commitment to our shared passion.

However, we still have a long way to go before Phase 2 is fully restored. There are more than 30 trail reroutes to complete, 5 bridges to rebuild or add, and numerous features like jumps, log-overs, skinnies, and other advanced elements to construct. We also need to continue clearing debris to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all riders.

To make this happen, we need your help more than ever. We have set a fundraising goal of $20,000, of which we have already raised $8,500 thanks to your generosity. These funds are essential for purchasing the tools, gas, personal protective equipment, wood, nails, and other supplies necessary to rebuild the trail features and keep our volunteers safe and well-equipped.

We are calling on each and every one of you to continue supporting our restoration efforts in any way you can. Whether it's attending our next trail day, making a financial contribution, or spreading the word to your friends and family, every action makes a difference. Stay updated on upcoming events through our website, social media, or by joining our trail maintenance BAND. If you're able to donate, please visit https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause\_pdetails/MjA2MDAx to contribute to our tornado recovery fund.

The love and support you have shown for Phase 2 and our mountain biking community is truly awe-inspiring. Together, we have the power to restore our trails to their former glory and ensure that they remain a source of joy and adventure for generations to come. Let's continue to pull together, work hard, and show the world what the COMBO community is made of.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. We can't wait to see you on the trails soon!
