This makes over $20,000 since 2008 with another $15,000 pledged over the next three years.<br />
<br />
Since 1995, BikeSource has raised and donated over $75,000 for mountain biking trails in the Kansas City area. Additionally, owners and employees donate over 2000 volunteer hours annually.<br />

THANK YOU! <br />
<br />
The work we are doing is very equipment/supply intensive. We spent almost $6000 in building and maintenace at Swope this last year. For example, when building phase 5 this summer the core group of builders were going through pro-grade gloves every 3 weeks of working everyday. Fuel costs totaled almost $1000. This donation is huge for trails in KC.<br />
<br />
Our core group of 3 builders each volunteered over 600hrs building this year. Maybe now for 2014 we'll get off our butts and get somtehing done.<br />
<br />
Here's to building more sweet singletrack in 2014! <br />

<br />
Here's how it's going to work:<br />
<br />
Gate entrance will open at 6:30 and close at 6:45. If you come after 6:45...tough luck. <br />
<br />
You can ride as long as you'd like as long as you want as long as that means you're done by 8:50p. The exit gate will be open until 9pm, so you can leave whenever you are done with your ride. At 9pm we will lock the exit gate.<br />
<br />
Of course, the ride is weather permitting.<br />
<br />
We've been able to work out this deal to allow us to do this ride, don't ruin it for everyone else. If we have problems we will simply no longer do this ride.Craig Stoeltzinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10967812289324034522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921229036743209475.post-90503887319237587672013-08-31T21:48:00.001-05:002013-08-31T22:10:44.245-05:00SwopeTrails: Ph5 is Open for Business...Enjoy.<div class="MsoNormal">
--Spread The Dirt--<br />
August 31, 2013<br />
Kansas City, MO<br />

<br />
Earthriders Trails Association [ERTA] in partnership with Heartland Outside is thrilled to announce that the Wudchuk Run Extension is officially Open for Business. 47 weeks ago the Swope Trails Crew began the planning process for Phase 5 and after 2,952 volunteer man hours, the dirt is primed and ready for the taking.<br />
<br />
Phase 5 is a 3.5 mile renovation and expansion of the Phase 2 portion of Swope trails. This section incorporates 8 -pin Alley, Jawbreaker and many new features sure to bring smiles for miles Several portions of the existing trail have been closed or modified.<br />
<br />
Check out link to the right for updated maps and future plans.<br />
<br />
A couple items of note:<br />
- With the dirt as dry as it is, the tread surface will be loose and sketchy until we get a decent rain.<br />
- The expansion incorporates new features, reroutes and technical drops. Please pay heed to all Caution/Do Not Enter signs.<br />
- Sweet Luv [swopestyle] is a dedicated One Way, Downhill Only Trail. Do Not attempt to ride/hike/run uphill.<br />
- We are in the process of a complete signage upgrade throughout the trail systems.<br />
- Multiple updated maps are placed at key intersections for your use in getting reacquainted with the new section.<br />
<br />
A huge thank you goes out the following people. Your help was a key to making this Phase a reality:<br />

About Swope Trails<br />
Swope Trails is 100% volunteer designed, built and maintained<br />
<br />
Swope Trails is a 50+ mile planned network of single-track mountain biking and hiking facilities in the heart of Kansas City, Missouri. Designed, constructed and managed by volunteers in partnership with Kansas City Parks and Recreation, Jackson County Parks And Recreation, Earth Riders Trails Association [ERTA] and Heartland Outside. Swope Trails will provide a premier single-track mountain biking and hiking facility in the core of the city; attracting local, regional, and national visitors. Constructed in phases by volunteers, 10.0 miles have been built since 2007. When complete, Swope Trails will be one of the largest Urban Singletrack trail systems in the United States.<br />

Swope Trails are located in the heart of Swope Park, Kansas City’s largest urban park at 1,805 acres, and showcase the limestone bluffs connecting to trails along the Blue River, Lakeside Nature Center, Rocky Point Glades and Camp Lake of the Woods. Great strides are being made, with help from the Missouri Department of Conservation, to ensure trail alignments preserve, protect and restore the natural habitat of the glades.</div>

</span><span style="color: #999999;">We've been hard at work for the last 6 months extending Wudchuk Run. As part of the extension, we've closed phase 2 while we’re working on reconfiguring the area. We expect to reopen phase 2 as well as the newly built phase 5 sometime in September.</span><br />

side of the page for directions to the Swope Park trails. We will then drive to
our hike in point.<br />
<br />
Tools: <br />
The usual trail tools...Rakes, McLeods,
Rock bars, Pulaskis, Rogue Hoes, Handsaws, etc. If you don't have tools, come
anyway...we should have plenty.<br />
