BACKGROUND
The club out of Longview/Castle Rock have given us great riding opportunities, led us through their maze of fun trails and hosted multiple ride events for all of us PUMP members. To keep these fun trails rideable and open they need our help with maintaining them.

Representatives of the National Park Service and Forest Service are scheduled to appear. The topic of the meeting is Management Models. The meeting begins at 5:30PM.
