Just a heads up - we will have a team working on the Moonraker bridge this evening - Thursday, August 13, 2020. Please watch for the signs and avoid this area. If you happen to stumble upon our volunteers, please slow down and ensure you give them their 6' of space. Physically distanced air fives are also appreciated!
Thanks to Mud Sweat and Gears for the $500 donation! We couldn't do what we do without the support we receive from the local communities!

Editor’s note: once a week for the next bit here at Transforming Edmonton we’re sharing some of our favourite places in the city. The pandemic has shortened the travel horizon for many. And that...What a great week of trail building! Cranky's Bike Shop St. Albert Cranky's Bike Shop Edmonton Women’s Mountain Bike Club, Women on Wheels YEG , and SheShreds - Womens Mountain Biking teamed up to design and build a new section of trail near MacKinnon Ravine. We had 57 volunteers out between Monday and Friday to build a new section of Wonder Woman. Over 80% of our volunteers were women, with many gaining build experience for the first time. Thank you to everyone that came out to help! It was a lot of hard work, but the new section is looking fantastic.
The original Wonder Woman entrance has been reclaimed, so please do not try to use it. The trail has been lengthened and the new entrance is directly behind the Korean Pavillion near the old museum/Government House. goo.gl/maps/XdNGFgoJVU8GtnfU6 We are in the process of updating it on Trailforks, but if you’re at the Pavillion the entrance should be obvious.
There are still some loose sections, so please ride with caution. And as always, respect the trails. If the trail surface is muddy and you are leaving a rut, don’t ride it!
Thanks again to all our volunteers! We couldn’t do it without you.
On Monday, July 27th, the city will be removing a dangerous fallen tree located on Flat Pete. Please avoid the area during normal working hours on Monday and Tuesday or be prepared to turn around if they are working on the tree removal. Thanks to the city stepping up on this one. It was a little too big for our great volunteers to tackle.

This one’s for the ladies!
The leads from Cranky's Bike Shop Women's Mountain Bike Club, SheShreds, and Women on Wheels have teamed up with EMBA for an exciting build project next week. They are still looking for enthusiastic women to volunteer on the build crew for Wednesday to Friday (July 22-24). There’s a lot of digging to be done!
If you’re a lady looking for some trail building experience, please sign up for one (or more) of the crews at the links below.
Due to COVID, we do have volunteer limits in place and ask that you sign up in advance. Only those individuals with an Eventbrite ticket will be able to participate in the trail day. Please check the Eventbrite details for full information on what to bring/wear.

We've had a busy past few weeks! We got cozy (but not too cozy) on Lovers Lane last night and we bring you not one, but TWO, trail days tomorrow - Thursday, July 16! EMBA will be working in Terwillegar at the top of the hill near Secret Trail and @crankysbikeshop will be just across the footbridge helping out in the Oleskiw meadow. Please look for signs and watch out for our volunteers by passing slowly and keeping 6' distance - or just trying to avoid those areas. #EMBA #terwillegar #oleskiw #yegcycling #yegtrailrunner #yegtrails #edmontonmountainbiking #edmontontrailrunners #amazingvolunteers
