The Taming of the Slough is fast approaching, and this year River Action is going to try something new. Like the Bix and the Bix at 6, River Action is going to do a series of Tune-Ups for Taming of the Slough. As part of that, they will have kayaks and canoes available to try on each of the Tune-Up dates, and the Sylvan Island trail steward will have a 3 mile course set up at Sylvan Island.

Regarding the biking component (both for the Tune-Ups and the actual race), the trail steward needs help from NMBP and trail ambassadors. Your assistance is needed to patrol Sylvan Island, assist riders (ranging from newbies to well seasoned riders), provide direction and guidance, etc.

Tune-Up dates:
8/20/09 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM (party to follow at Bass Street Chop House)
8/27/09 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM (party to follow, location to be announced)
9/3/09 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM (party to follow, location to be announced)
9/10/09 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM (party to follow, location to be announced)

Taming of the Slough race date: 9/19/09

Please post up if you are able to help with any or all of these dates.
