Good weather and multiple requests for more trail work days at the Sandy Ridge Trails has prompted additional trail work days for Sandy Ridge, in addition to our scheuduled Trail Work Party & Discovery Ride as part of our Portland Trail Fest.  Please join us at these events, which are co-hosted with our trail partners the Salem District Bureau of Land Management and the International Mountain Biking Association. 

First, we've added an official Trail Work Party for Saturday, March 20th, the first of the season for the Sandy Ridge Trail System.  March your calendars, come throw some dirt and then ride your bike on this great trail system.

I heard from a couple of riders this past weekend that there was a BLM public notice posted at the trailhead at Homestead Rd (the paved road you ride up to access Hide & Seek) indicating closure of BLM land "along the Southern Boundary of the Bull Run Management Unit (BRMU) and within the Little Sandy River".  It also mentions affected area "T2S R6E sec 13, 14, 15".

I called the BLM office and spoke to the contact for the notice.  She (Cindy Enstrom) confirmed that this refers to only the watershed land that borders the land the trails are on.  The trails are definitely open.
