Hello to all on the Train,

Jim here from bike Detroit.  This winter we drove 456 miles and visited some 120 Parks out of a list of 600+ that the city of Detroit is decommissioning.  During these travels we discovered numerous trails and interconnected routs that could have a positive effect if cleared and slightly developed.

We have gained permission from the head Landscape Architect and are seeking 8-10+ Volunteers for trail clearing/development.  The three areas we would focus on would be Palmer Woods Park, Pingree Nature Preserve and the Rouge Corridor from 7 mile on Thur Eliza Howell Park.  Two-Three days at Palmer, Two-Three days along the Rouge Corridor and then one day at the Pingree nature preserve would about do it.

We have all the equipment we just need help with the moving of stuff off to the sides.  People with there own chainsaws would be more than welcome.  We are thinking the last weekend in March and two more in April Should about do it. We would develop the training routes and maps and then we all can share them with whomever how ever.

See you on the trial!

p.s. when you folks starting your ride again?
