Hi Everyone,

Our club meeting & trail work day is this coming Saturday. The Ironton Legion is closed, we will meet at the Miller Black Bear trail head section six at 9 a.m. It is located off of Iverson road between the cities of Trommald and Riverton. Take county road 30, turn left on county road 34 towards Trommald. Follow 34 until the black top ends and turn left at the dirt intersection. Follow the dirt road and turn right at the Miller Black trail sign. For anyone that is not familiar with the area, I will be waiting in front of the Ironton Legion, 232 4 ^th Street at 8:30,  you can follow me. My plan is to have shorter meeting at the section 6 trail parking area.

 Our club membership dues are due this month. $15.00 for individual, $20.00 for family, and $30.00 for businesses. If you are not attending this meeting you can mail it to our club address, Make your check payable to the Cuyuna Iron Range Riders, PO box 301, Crosby, MN 56441-301. If you have already mailed your membership, thank you for staying with us! Our club is working on adding more trails in the area.

The weather forecast looks like mid 50s and partly sunny, dress accordingly

We are going break into a couple groups and replace any missing trail signs, pick up trash, clear low hanging branches, cut up any downed trees, and clean up around the picnic sites. If you’re planning to help with trail maintenance, bring a hand saw, loppers, rake, chain saw, and a cordless drill. If you don’t have any, don’t worry, several members do. To be covered under our grant in aid trail insurance you have to be a paid member. Keep track of your mileages; they are reimbursable under our grant agreement.

I want to have some fun also, we will come back around 12:30 and grill hotdogs at the trailhead and have a potluck lunch. I will bring the hotdogs, buns ketchup & mustard. Tom Simon is bring paper plates, forks, spoons, knifes and napkins. Potluck style, bring anything you like. Bring a lawn chair or two.  Afterwards we can ride.
