2008 DPMBP Season A Success

Thanks to everyone who supported DPMBP during our 2008 season. From March through October we were busy. A few highlights include: Trailbuilding Training Days for Local Land Agencies. The purchase and outfitting of a new trailer with which to support our efforts doing trail maintenance and trail building. Successful creation of a new intermediate trail, the Kimmons Trail, during Friends of Lory Trail Day. Successful trail building days at Curt Gowdy State Park in Wyoming. Hundreds of volunteer hours were logged patrolling trails from Estes Park to Curt Gowdy State Park. An agreement was reached to allow DPMBP to patrol trails in the City of Fort Collins. The Tour de Fat was a great success. Take A Kid Moutain Biking Day allowed us to bike with 70+ kids. And new, alternate, advanced riding lines were created on the Ginny Trail in conjunction with Singletrack Trails and the City of Fort Collins Natural Resources Dept. Of course, these are only a few highlights. Thanks again to all who supported us. The DPMBP Board will meet regularly in preparation for the upcoming 2009 season. If you have any suggestions, please email us.
