	BONCers cut a re-route of the popular Bullard's Bar Trail.

BONC organizes regular trail building and improvement projects in Nevada County and adjacent areas. Participating in such trail projects is a great way to meet other cyclists and trail users, so come and join us!

BONC has adopted trails near Grouse Ridge, Bullard's Bar and Forest City and worked on many others. We seek to create environmentally sustainable trails for all users to enjoy.

• Empire Mine, 5/1/05 - We had another productive day of trailwork yesterday on the Empire-to-Memorial Park Trail. With a turnout of over 20-25 volunteers, we prepared the trail for mechanized equipment that will soon blaze the trailbed. Later this year, we be able ride this important connector to the Mine and in some point in the future, this trail will extend all the way to Brunswick Basin. Such local trails are super important; thank you Nevada County Land Trust! For a map of this new trail, go to page 4 of this document (Adobe Reader required).
• Bullard's Bar, 3/6/05 - We had a great turnout and accomplished a lot! We took out a large number of downed limbs and trees, finished two completed re-routes, rock armored a soft section of trail, hung a bunch of BONC signs and had a great time doing all of it. We were joined by USFS staff, a hiker and a FATRACer. Thank you to everyone who showed up! Also, a big thanks to CLIF Bar for donating delicious CLIF bars for the event.
  
• South Yuba and Round Mountain Trail Day, 1/30/05- Last Sunday, about twenty volunteers joined the BONC-led trailwork on the South Yuba and Round Mountain Trails. Our fantastic volunteers took out downed trees, did extensive bench work on the trails, completed sizable rock repairs on the South Yuba Trail, trimmed overgrowth from R. Mountain trailhead > Purdon and hung trailwork and rules-of-the-trail signs. Additionally, we flagged a very plausible route for the bottom half of the Diamond Arrow Trail. Thank you to Tour of Nevada City and the Weir family for supporting this effort.
