GROC workday at Ontario County Park Sunday May 4th. 8:45am til 11am, depart for trailwork at 9am sharp.

GROC has been working with OCP landmanagers the last few months on a plan to add 15 miles of singletrack to the exisiting trail system already in place. This will provide diverse trail experience and help fullfill OCP master plan. This active work began last fall with a small group of GROC members donating time to work on the current trail system. Please go to GROC Advocacy page to read more about this.

Current Project Managers are Rick Williams, Victor Gaspar and Casey Conte.
If you are interested in being involved in the active responsible management and implimentation of this project please contact: Rick Williams at the above e-mail.
If you are familiar with OCP and the current trail system and property we could use you to aid as a team leader on this day. Looking for some of the Wednesday Night Guild to take a role.
This has been presented as a phased project that will be approx 1 to 2 years depending on volunteer time and phase acceptance.
