It's a great time to be a mountain biker in Tucson! TORCA is super busy working on Red Ridge and getting the ball rolling with the Comprehensive Trail plan for the Coronado National Forest. All these projects will take a lot of muscle, so we are excited to roll out our new and improved trail work incentive program. We have some amazing partners who believe in and support our trail work efforts. We recognize that people are busy and sometimes there needs to be a little nudge to get people to show up to dig days, so we are giving you three "nudges"! And we're making it even easier to earn some rad equipment from our sponsors including EVOC Packs, FiveTen Shoes, and Troy Lee Designs.

Here's how the program works. We added two more tiers for those really dedicated folks to stay motivated to come out and participate even more. Make sure you read through to the bottom as earning your awards are easier than you think. Show up for 5 work days and you'll receive a trail builder pack or Enduro Pack from EVOC packs. For those hard chargers that already earned the pack, Tier two will be for those that do five more days, we'll throw you a pair of Five Ten Freerider shoes ( $100 Value). Don't ride flats? We'll apply the value of the Freeriders to a pair of clipless shoes. Then if you get hooked on giving back to the community and throwing dirt in the woods and do 5 more, we'll throw you a Troy Lee Designs A2 MIPS Brain Bucket! People are always asking for the hook up, well there ya have it. Trailwork and volunteerism pays off! We look forward to being bankrupted from people earning all three tiers. We dare you!

BUT IT DOESN"T STOP THERE!! Like we said, we're going to make it even easier to earn that sweet gear. We're going to give you an opportunity to refer a friend. If you bring a friend to throw dirt, we'll count that as a work day towards your awards. The only qualifier is they have to have not been to a work day before and they can only be counted once. EXAMPLE. Show up to 2 work days and bring 1 UNIQUE guest each time, that counts as 4 days towards your award. So tell a MTB friend to get involved and as Pedro says watch "your wildest dreams come true". We look forward to awarding tons of gear and in the process making Tucson the best place to ride anywhere. Work Days are scheduled so which ones will you be coming to and who will you be bringing?
