Back by popular demand.......
23-25 April 2004 looks like a pretty good weekend for our :worship: pilgrimage to Elkins Flat.
The reason I choose this weekend is because on Sunday 17 April there is a D36 enduro. The CC guys are on break.... so lets breakout for a good weekend of riding....
If you would like to get trail maps of the Elkins Flat and Gold Note / Pipi ridng area give the Amador Ranger District office a call and they will mail you the maps.
Get the skinny here!
