Next week trail construction will resume to complete the remaining 2.5 miles of the Halo Trail project. Depending on the construction progress and weather, we may post some additional weekend volunteer trail days to help insure its completion.

We are also currently working on trail heads maps for the USFS and Washoe County Parks Department. These maps will show all the designated USFS trails an travel routes on Peavine. They will be installed on eight trail head boards from the Las Brisas to the Horizon Hills trail heads by mid December.

And at any time now, the USFS will also be installing a fence at the Hoge Road Trail Head area to designate and deter motorized incursions into the Keystone Canyon Recreation Area. This is a 900 acre non-motorized area which extends south from Hoge Road to Rancho San Rafael Park, and includes Keystone Canyon and west to the the top the ridge where the Halo trail traverses.

Lastly, plan to join us for a Halo Ride on November 21. We will ride the trail and check on its construction progress. It is also our designated annual meeting required by our non-profit bylaws, and a chance to invite and meet you who are on our email and member list.

So stay tuned for construction updates, possible volunteer days, and please come and join us on any of the dates below.

*Confirmed Poedunk dates for the remainder of 2009:

Wednesday November 11 - 6:00 pm at Ceol Irish Pub: Poedunk Board Meeting, feel free to join us

the Poedunks suggest these September events to benefit the community:

September 19 (Saturday)
- Nevada Land Conservancy Hawken Fire Restoration
- Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful / Backcountry Horsemen of NV Fall Peavine Clean-Up

September 26 (Saturday)
- Nevada Land Conservancy 10th (and final!) Annual Mt Rose Hike

-Galenafest

Galenafest is a new event to benefit Galena Creek Regional Park. Centered around a challenging climb (and new mountain bike test piece) to the top of Relay Peak. With great food, drink, music and kids events, all proceeds to help reestablish the outdoor outreach programs that were recently cut from Washoe County's parks budget.

View the Fall 2009 Issue of the Galena Times for the events background and aspirations. A great example of the community individuals stepping up to maintain the quality of life programs and opportunities many of us have enjoyed in the past. Hope you will consider participating, it promises to be a quality event for a super cause. Encourage your friends to sign up and hope to see you there!

Dear Bikeway Volunteers,

I hope you can help with the Bikeway's first ever "Weed-n-Ride" event! This Sunday, September 13, will be a combination of work for the Bikeway and play:

--morning of weeding (mostly Russian thistle) along the trail on the Reservation for about 2 hours,

--followed by lunch (provided by the Bikeway),
--then a bike ride in the afternoon for about 2 hours.

If you can help it would be terrific! Bring water, gloves, long sleeves and pants for the work part.

Bring your bike and different clothes for the riding part.

Bill von Phul is coordinating this effort, and he has most of the tools needed. If you can help, please call Bill at 786-5568 or email him at bvonphul@....

Thanks everyone!

As much as I like Alternate 1 for mountain biking, the Proposed Action is so much better for hikers and horse riders than Alternate 1 is. Do we want to get into a mountain bike vs hiker, horse confrontation over this? I say give hikers and horse riders the Proposed Action and see if we can work with the USFS to add more MTB trails in the future hopefully with the approval of the hikers and horse people.

Subject: usfs seeks rim to reno comments

The USFS has posted its notice for proposed action on the Rim to Reno trail. It has come up with an alternative that would provide additional trails for mountain biking in the Belli and Ballardini Ranch areas. This proposal is available for review (under Carson Ranger District) at:

There was also a recent article in the RGJ here:

http://www.rgj.com/article/20090705/NEWS/90705025&OAS_sitepage=news.rgj.com%2Fbreakingnews

After an initial review, the Poedunk board is very encouraged by the proposed "Alternative 1" that adds approximately 14 miles of new trails that would allow mountain bike use. We tend to endorse this proposal, but would welcome and seek additional comments from you first. And of course you can also send in your personal comments as well to the USFS.

Please take a moment to look at the USFS proposed action and RGJ article and reply to this email or to the USFS with your comments, suggestions and/or endorsement of one of the alternatives.

meet at HOGE ROAD TH

(turn left on Hoge Rd from Old North Virginia St - just past the Bonanza Casino, go up hill, turns to dirt, follow to the radio tower area/top of Keystone Canyon).

the Halo trail is looking really good despite the recent storms. The rains did cut short the trail work on the snow terraces so we'll be out this Wednesday evening to finish the trail tread in that area. This section ties into an existing section of trail, so if you want to find out how to connect to the Halo trail from the north, come out and you'll see how (4 miles of single track back to the Kings Row area).

Also thanks to Quinn, Randy, Lee, Jason, Eric, Pat, Linda, Jon, Dick, Jeff, Pierre, Andrew and Alex this past weekend on the clean up effort on Peavine. You'll see a big difference in the Hoge road/radio tower area - the Chevy Tahoe is out of Keystone Canyon, the shooting gallery is all cleaned up, as well as the surrounding ridges and roads.

TWO MORE MILES BUILT
The Nevada Conservation Corps completed another two miles of the Halo trail in April. Three of the 6.5 miles are now finished. We will posting some more volunteer days shortly to help push the trail another 1/2 mile further so that it ties into the existing trail and make for interim loop. The remaining 3 miles of construction will begin again next fall. The trail is looking good...check out some pictures on the Poedunk Home Page.

Hello all,

With daylight savings time and spring just around the corner, we're looking to resume the trail work on Peavine real soon.

The Nevada Conservation Corps is returning the beginning of April to work on the next 3 miles of the Halo Trail.  We will be scheduling a weekend work day around that time to connect the first mile of the Halo Trail to the existing roads and to make for an interim 2.5 mile loop from the Kings Row Access.

Also this spring  we plan to assist the USFS and Washoe County Parks to sign and designate the Keystone Canyon Recreation Area, a Non-Motorized zone around Keystone Canyon and RSF Park.  Our annual clean up outing will be on May 10, and we really encourage anyone who wants to further their trail building and design skills to attend the Regional Trails Training at Galena Park on May 16-18. We'll post more days and events as finalized, but here's how the calender is shaping up.

Upcoming Peavine and trail events:

March 8 daylight savings

March N-Trail trail work

April NCC resumes on Halo
April Halo Trail Work Day to complete first loop

May 10 KTMB - Peavine Clean Up

May 16-18 Regional Trails Training - Tahoe Rim Trail Association

Apr/May Keystone Rec Area Boundary work with USFS & Washoe County

May Halo Weekend Work as necessary to complete next section
June 6 National Trails Day

We also will be soliciting for donations in the near future to help with our operating expenses and to acquire some funds for tools, trail day food, beverages, and other trail amenities. We really have appreciated every ones volunteer help last year, we hope you may help with a small donation this year to help our cause for more and better Peavine trails.

Check the web/blog out for the latest schedule and updates. We look forward to seeing you out on the trail again this spring.
