On this page, we strive to provide you with the most comprehensive trail information available in the CSRA. As in building a good trail, this takes time and a lot of work. While we are on the subject, that is what we have to discuss first.....Trail Building and Maintenance.
Bill Victor, is heading up the ambitious Mecca Trails Project with SORBA CSRA. This project, undertaken in conjunction with SCPRT-South Carolina Parks Recreation and Tourism, the USFS-United States Forest Service, and others will greatly enhance the present system of trails in the area and probably, most importantly, increase the number of trails available for our use. Bill, along with Wes Prince, who has departed the area, worked valiantly to secure sizable grants to help attain these goals.
There is an on-going series of work parties to build and maintain trails. What we are asking is that you contact Bill Victor at his E-Mail billvictor@mindspring.com or call him at 706-832-8496 and volunteer for a few hours and give back to the sport with a contribution of some of your time and effort.
What you will gain besides the satisfaction of helping, is an understanding of trail construction techniques and a new appreciation of what it takes to properly build a trail. These work parties are not all work and no play. They are a great way to meet other riders and network about trails, rides and swap stories. By all means bring your bike and trail dog.
