Who attended?

  • 12 attendees
    •  My 1st OACS adventure. Lots of earth-moving, good attitude and laughter. Had to leave early but hope to help out again when my back's a bit stronger. It's a great place to ride if you can find it! The trails are a legacy to Michael McGauhey's love of mountain biking and trail building. He spent a lot of time building trails out there and advocating for Richmond Hill Park. I moved earth in his memory. 
    •  Very well-organized 
    •  Such a great experience! Organized and productive work day. Definitely want to do more of these!
