Where:
Ellsworth Handcrafted Bicycles
16225 Highland Trails Dr, Ramona, CA

If you've been here before, but not recently, please note that the entrance is NOT the old entrance. The entrance is off of Highland Trails Drive, just off of Highland Valley Road. There is a gate to the right immediately after you turn onto Highland Trails Drive from Highland Valley Road. There will be a Gravity Pirates banner and an arrow sign to help guide you.

If you still don't know how to copy and paste the address into Google Maps and follow the instructions above, here is a map link:

Parking:
There is limited parking, so please carpool if you can!
There are 3 areas to park:
Lower lot will be designated for vehicles without 4WD or AWD
Middle and top lot will be designated for vehicles that can make it up the graded, but not paved, steep driveway.
There will be parking guides available to direct you where to park.

Check-in:
-Check in at the SDMBA Booth, which will be located at the middle lot (this goes for GP peeps too). This is also where the lunch, raffle, and demo will be. Please check in BEFORE 9:00am.
-You will be asked to sign a waiver (this is a new waiver, so if you've signed one previously, you will still need to sign a new waiver).
-You MUST provide proof of health insurance to DIG or RIDE! If you do not provide proof of insurance, you will NOT get a wristband and will not be able to dig or ride.
-Once you've signed a waiver and provided proof of insurance, you will get a wristband. You will not be able to go to the top lot without a wristband!
-Choose your trailboss (they will be nearby) and once your trailboss has enough volunteers, your group will head out to work on a designated section of trail.

Timeline:
9AM - Official meet and greet before hitting the trail. There will be trail bosses for each area to help guide the work.
1PM - Lunch! Come on down to the Ellsworth, Loaded, and SDMBA trailers for some grub. We'll do the raffle while everyone is eating.
2PM - Let's ride! Grab an Ellsworth demo or your own steed and enjoy the amazing Ellsworth trail!

What to bring:
-PROOF OF HEALTH INSURANCE
-Water
-Work gloves (You may be working with a lot of ROCK, so gloves that are more durable than bike gloves are recommended)
-Your favorite trail tools (shovel, rock bar, picks, spades, sledgehammer, Mcleod, clippers, etc.) and be sure to mark them so you know which one is yours
-Walkie Talkies, if you have them
-Your bike (if you plan to ride)

Do NOT:
-Do not bring alcohol.
-Do not forget your health insurance card
-Do not enter at the top gate, enter at the lower gate right off of Highland Trails Dr from Highland Valley Road.
-Do not be late!

Organized by:
Gravity Pirates – SoCal’s largest group of DH/FR riders who want to give back to the DH/FR community.
