A much smaller group of us pedaled to Beeks Place this morning to “undecorate “ the Christmas Tree.

Beautiful weather and great friends made this a fantastic day.

Unfortunately we missed Chas Beek (owner of cabin) by about 20 minutes. The Beeks family has been so gracious to our club over the years and we love decorating their tree. Prayers go out to their family for the current loss of Chuck Beek.

Single tracks in the way down didn’t disappoint! Although there were some large ruts we were blessed with hero dirt.

Followed by a healthy lunch at Cooks😜

Thanks for everyone’s help today.

We received some sad news today. Chuck Beek has passed away. He was a friend of the Warriors Society who along with his son Chas graciously allowed us to use their cabin “Beeks Place” to stage some of our events.

We recently pedaled up and decorated their Christmas tree which we do every year.

He will truly be missed by our club and all the lives he has touched over the years.

Peace, and smooth sailing.

Just wanted to share some photos from WS rides, trail work and fun, fond memories

2024 will be the last year of The Vision Quest, Counting Coup and official trail work activities.

Due to lack of public interest in our trail work and mountain bike events we have decided to turn over trail work responsibilities to OCMBA and wish them the best of luck in attracting support to maintain the trails of the Cleveland National Forest.

To those who have maintained trails with us or participated in our events over the last 28 years, thank you, it's been a good run

Come on out next Saturday and join up with the Warriors Society to continue the brushing on the Trabuco Canyon Trail. We'll drive up to Munhall Saddle and work down from there.

Please RSVP to Keith Eckstein at ecksteinly29@gmail.com so he knows how many tools to bring.

If you can't make this date, show your support by donating to the Warriors Society. We have a “donate” button on our homepage at: www.warriorssociety.org
