Milwaukee Metro Mountain Bikers and the Waukesha Bicycle Alliance are working with Waukesha County Parks to establish mountain bike trails right here in Waukesha. What a great project for Pack 163 Cub Scouts to get involved with! Join us on Saturday, May 11 from 9 am to 1 pm. Activities will include: - Trail Building: Shovel dirt, cut roots, lay stone, dig ditches, install water stops, trim branches - these are just a few examples of things we might be doing. Each to his abilities - all ages can contribute, learn, and have fun doing it. Tools will be provided. Bring work gloves and appropriate clothes. For insurance purposes, you will need to sign a release waiver. - Bike Safety: I will review bike safety for scouts. Have you earned your bicycling belt loop yet? Webelos, have you earned your Sportsman Activity Pin yet? Wolves and Bears, biking activities can count towards your arrow points! - Trail Riding: The 1.5 mile beginner loop is already completed and open to riders. We will take a group for an optional ride on this easy trail. - Picnic: Bring your own picnic lunch. Drinks will be provided. - Other Activities: The scout event will officially end at 1 pm, but feel free to stick around to enjoy fishing, hiking, geocaching, etc with your family.
