Jackrabbit Trail Signage
Installed
New signage has been installed on the Jackrabbit Mountain Biking and Hiking Trail System after final approval by the
United States Forestry Service. The signage is placed at each
trail junction and each is numbered to
correspond with trail map intersections so
hikers and cyclist can easily identify their
location.
Signs for plant identification will also be a
feature of the trails and restroom facilities
are being relocated from Allen Gap in the Upper Tellico ORV
area after its closure. Both should be completed
in the near future.

Pathways After School Program Kicks Off
Pathways After
School and
Summer Program
for Middle
School-Age
Students has a
group scheduled for
mountain bike
rides on Friday, July 9th
and
Wednesday July 14th. The days in August have not
yet been scheduled. We could use some volunteers to help ride with us on those days, as kids are all skill levels and get spread out all over the trails. If you could help out, please
contact us here.
Each year,
SABA members
volunteer to
teach bike
safety and
mountain bike
skills to
students of the
Pathways program during
the months of
June and July.
Trips to
surrounding bike
trails are
planned as well.

SABA Members Attend American Red Cross CPR/First
Aid Certification Class
SABA members gave up their Saturday morning ride to
participate in a CPR/First Aid
Certification Class on Saturday, June 19th
taught by SABA
President,
Joanna Atkisson. Besides those who needed this class in order to conduct routine trail maintenance as deemed necessary by the USFS, several members and guests elected to take the class to have the general knowledge base in the event of an accident or illness...and, as usual, there was a luncheon feast afterwards (SABA members sure know how to cook and eat!). Many thanks to all who participated.
Coming This Fall!
