Building & Maintaining Trails

Austin Ridge Riders Trail Crew hosts an average of twelve trail work days every year. We train all trail volunteers to help us maintain and/or expand our trail systems in responsible and sustainable ways.

We provide all the tools volunteers need; however, you are encouraged to bring water, work gloves, eye protection, clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and closed-toe shoes. The more protective the clothing, the better. Bonus points if you wear your helmet or a hard hat!

Trail Advocacy

To build great trails we must also build strong relationships with land managers and stakeholders, and other nonprofit organizations. Successful trails require years of planning, meetings, and compromise – and club membership supports us in this work!

We frequently meet with land managers, county planners, the Parks and Recreation Department, and organizations like Hill Country Conservancy and Bike Texas, to discuss opportunities for new trails in Central Texas.

Help us build Central Texas’ MTB trails!

Meet Our Trail Stewards

Our volunteer Trail Stewards help create and maintain many of the miles you enjoy here in Austin and Central Texas. ARR has a long history of building single track and that means a lot of miles that require constant upkeep. To do this, our Stewards lead a volunteer Trail Crew, taking care of anything from face slappers to head knockers, dangerous punji sticks, and erosion and drainage issues. We’re also concerned with adding fun features where we can. Trail Stewards have the delicate task of balancing what the community wants and needs, with what the land owner can allow, and what the land itself allows.
