Barring any heavy rain, we'll be meeting at the Main visitor center at 9.

We'll be doing some trail work over on Bob's trail, then heading up to work on NEMBA trail (if time and enough volunteers show).
Lunch to be provided.

I suggest bringing your bike to get to work areas.
Also just in case we ride afterwards...AND - We'll be finished with this by 3 latest - so you can make the Pats game.

Any questions on the day of - call me at 617 512 5441(cell)
or 508 230 2463 home.

I'll still head over. Same meeting place/Time. Basicaly, If it's light drizzle we can just head over to Bob's trail to get a couple things done. If it gets worse as we go - we'll stop after Bob's trail work. If it gets better, we can keep going, and knock off a couple things needed over on NEMBA trail as well, then grab lunch.
If it's raining AT 9, we'll re-schedule later this fall.
Thanks
Chris
