Our Trails Are Mostly Clear
All the trails are mostly clear after that tropical storm hit. Thanks to our trail stewards and volunteers for helping clear our trails of fallen trees and debris. CLIMB was coordinating about 65 individual volunteers, who helped us clear over 175 miles of our trails within a week, you guys really stepped up to help out!
Other weakened trees may fall down too. If you see a tree we missed please take a screenshot of trailforks app showing the blue dot of where you are standing next to the tree. Also take a picture of the tree trunk so we know what size saw is needed.
Folding saws are great to carry in your pack if you want to help out. They cut on the pull stroke but if you push too hard you will bend or break the blade. Sometimes you have to cut from underneath if your top cut starts to bind the saw, it all depends on the position of the branch and the forces upon it. Watch out for spring back if there is sideways tension on the tree. They also sell larger D handle saws that can cut up to a 12" trunk if you want the exercise.
Thanks and happy trails!

Give Trailforks Trail Karma to CLIMB in July
During the COVID-19 pandemic, trail use (and abuse) has skyrocketed, but unfortunately membership and sponsorship funds haven't. Trails don't build or maintain themselves and most trail associations work on a tight budget. Trail associations like CLIMB have bills to pay for liability insurance, tools, signage, office supplies, printing, etc. CLIMB could use your help to maintain the trails that we love to ride.
If you donate to a trail association during July via Trailforks “Trail Karma” you can win some amazing prizes from Santa Cruz, Garmin, RockShox, Kona and more. To donate and get some good Trail Karma, open the Trailforks app then select your favorite CLIMB trail from the map, scroll down to view the CLIMB "Trail Karma" button and donate what your can. We could all use some good karma... am I right? Thanks! You can also donate on the Trailforks site. If you don't have the trailforks app, go here to download on Android or Apple.
For more info on the Long Island Mountain Biking scene follow CLIMB on Instagram @CLIMBonline1990 or on Facebook @CLIMBONLINE on FB - CLIMB could use your help to maintain the trails that we love to ride.
