Official Lowdown for all the SHEDHEADS!!

OK guys and gals, here's the plan:

On Saturday Feb.1st, all the local riders are to meet at the Watershed entrance at 10am (i know that's early for some of you;) ) When i mean 'local', if you live in West Van, you don't need to worry. This meeting is discuss our roles as riders and builders of the Shed. We'll meet for a bit, then we'll go for a quick rip. We just need to get a few things across to everybody on what needs to be done.

Secondy, the following day, Sunday Feb. 2nd. There will be a trail day to fix the trail that goes from the bottom of the Goats to the Beginning of Stairway. As this trail is relevent to bikers, it's also our contribution to fixing a trail that will be used by everyone (Browny points). The plan is to take before and after pics and maybe have a newspaper reporter on hand to try and get publicity. A couple weeks later there is a meeting with City Hall, so we are gonna use those pics and the good publicity to help our case.
What we need are people to come out on the Sunday at 10am to help. The city is gonna provide us with rocks and dirt. Brett (Goats) is gonna provide wheel barrels, shovels and etc. All we need is to bring some gloves, drinking water and a strong back. And most importantly, NO BIKES. We have to take this very seriously or the shed might be bye-bye.

There are a few guys that have been doing alot of hard work to help keep the Shed how it is now and it will take the help and support and cooperation of all the riders to keep the shed the way it is and to help in making it better in the future.

As of now, NOTHING NEW is to be built in the shed. This could seriously jepordize everything so i can't stress this enough.

Any questions, just post back, PM me or email the [email protected]

Thanks, Simon

God damnit! I'm gonna be away that weekend!

I'm there in spirit guys!

Sounds great Simon! Count me in on both days! So bring bikes on Saturday , and no bikes for the Sunday trail day. I just hope i won't have to work on Sunday. Even if I do I would be there from like 10 to 1 or something. I think trail days should become a regular thing at the shed. Every couple weeks or something.

This one is important because we have to make a case to the City. I think they might like the whole FREE labour.

Last year the city paid a guy $60,000 salary to look after the watershed, generaly just going in there making sure everything is safe and stuff. They would still pay on top of that, the wages of other workers to come in and do more of the heavy maintainance. What we want is to be that guy, but as a group that will take on the task of maiking sure stunts are solid, fallen debree is out of the way, fallen trees, etc. We wouldn't be taking away HIS job because as of this year he doesn't work for them anymore.

yeah, sorry i could'nt make the meeting tonight simon.i talked to al tonight and he gave me the lowdown.i will be there fosho dood.are you in for a ride this weekend or is anyone else?i think i will go tomarrow morning and for a good rip on sunday.just watching the canucks right now and bloody detroilet just scored again 2-0 second period.
