🌲 About the Day
Join us in the woods. Whether you’re a seasoned builder or a first-time volunteer, dig days are a great way to give back to the trails and connect with the local riding community.
🌦️ Weather Policy
We dig in the rain, but not in atmospheric rivers. Light rain is part of the Island experience, but if a major storm or high-wind warning is in effect, we’ll postpone.
If you don’t hear from us, assume it’s on — bring your rain gear and we’ll see you there.
