Thank you to the crew who has volunteered their time to help us build a new trail in Buffalo Creek which will be made by mountain bikers for mountain bikers. We will be building this Saturday and Sunday, May 30th and 31st. We will be meeting at 8:30 AM on Saturday and again Sunday at the Miller Gulch trailhead south of Bailey. Please be at the Miller Gulch trailhead and ready to go at 8:30 AM. We will be camping at the Miller Gulch trailhead as well. Don't forget to bring your own food and water for the weekend (we will be packing our lunches into the work site), sturdy work clothes and boots, and your bike!
How do I get there?
We will be meeting up and camping at the Miller Gulch trailhead south of Bailey. Please use this map to help guide you to the Miller Gulch trailhead.
- From the intersection of Highways 285 (Hampden Avenue) and C-470, take Highway 285 south (also west) to Bailey.
- At the bottom of Crow Hill just as you’re entering the town of Bailey, turn left onto Wellington Lake Road. Look for the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms store and you’ve made the correct turn.
- Go approximately 5 miles on Wellington Lake Road (also Forest Service Road 560). Bear left onto Forest Service Road 549.
- Go approximately 2 miles on Forest Service Road 549 and bear left onto Forest Service Road 553.
- Go approximately ½ mile on Forest Service Road 553 and turn right onto Forest Service Road 554 and into the Miller Gulch trailhead.
- Look for CoMBA event signs along the way.
What should I wear?
Dress in sturdy work clothes. Boots, long pants, and work gloves are recommended. Hats, sunglasses, long sleeve shirts, and your camelback are important too.
What should I bring?
Our trail building weekends will be friendly, back-to-the-basics camping weekends held at the Miller Gulch trailhead. Bring food and water for the day or weekend depending on whether you committed for a single day or for the full weekend. If you are camping bring your camp gear. Tools for trail building will be provided by COMBA. Bring your bike!
