SOUT HILL BLUFF TRAILS -- Hikers and bikers can learn the theory and application of effective trail building and trail maintenance in a free clinic TONIGHT on the South Hill.

Mike Brixey, who's trained with the International Mountain Bike Association, will make the presentation starting at 6 p.m. at Polly Judd Park, 1732 W. 14th Ave.

The South Hill bluff trail system also will be discussed, and a volunteer trail maintenance group may be organized.

Bring a folding chair and, if you wish, a picnic dinner.

Small children and dogs are discouraged.

A follow-up practical trail building session will be scheduled next week on the bluff trails below High Drive.
