Sherri West Memorial Work Party at FATS - Saturday, June 22nd


We are organizing a large work party at FATS for Saturday, June 22nd. This will be the 4th Annual Sherri West Memorial Work Party. Sherri was a member of SORBAcsra and a regular volunteer at work parties and FATS was one of her favorite places to work and ride.


The scale and scope of this work party will depend on the number of volunteers who sign up and show up to work.


The concentration of this work party will be Great Wall and Skinny. We will need nearly 30 volunteers to mobilize all the equipment to cover about 15 miles of trail. Please pass the word along about this work party.


If you know you can commit and want to go ahead and sign-up now (or if you have questions), please email us at> [e-mail]






We need maximum participation, with all the earlier rain we already have overgrowth and will be getting worse week after week. Thank you!

Reposting this since we still only have 5 people signed up for this work party.  If we can't get close to 30 volunteers signed up we will try again another date.  If you can help please reach out, we are mobilizing all of our equipment so need to know who we can count on to be there so we can form groups!  Email me at [e-mail].  Thank you!

Reposting again although we now have 14 people signed up for this work party!!  We are about halfway to our goal of 30 volunteers (this will allow us to mobilize all of our equipment (DR mowers, string trimmers and hedgers).   If you can help please reach out, we are mobilizing all of our equipment so need to know who we can count on to be there so we can form groups!  Email me at [e-mail].  We need volunteers to sign up in advance so we can plan for full utilization of our equipment.  I'll send out the starting time to the volunteers who sign up.  Thank you!

This is the main annual work party for the FATS trail! Love to ride here? Show it some love!

Three days before the work party we were at about 2/3 of the volunteers we needed for this work but by the day of we ended up with 40 volunteers (mountain bikers and runners) and had to turn others away because we simply were out of equipment and tools to deploy!




No equipment failures mean full equipment utilization and a front that zipped through a few hours before it started cooled things down just a little. Lots of good work done. Go to our Facebook page (SORBA-CSRA) to see photos of this work party!

There are four jobs left to be done on the two main trails we were working on, stay tuned for that information if you missed out on yesterday's work party and want to help.

Also upcoming will be a work party to finish up Horn Creek and the large annual Turkey/Wine Mowathon.
