September brings a season of change at TORC—and plenty of reasons to celebrate the people behind our trails. William Blackmon is our Summer Volunteer Spotlight! From workdays to special events, William keeps showing up. Thank you to the Endurance Collective for celebrating his service with a private MTB skills session. Good riding, great company at Briar Chapel’s Redesign Festival. Thanks to Tamara Sanders of Back Alley Bikes for the suspension clinic, and Amy and Andy of Breakaway Cafe for keeping everyone well fed. Thank you, Alex Haley and Barry Evans, for years of stewardship at RTP. And thank you, Farris, for nearly two decades as a builder, ride leader, coach, mentor, and friend to this community. We’re wishing you the best in your next chapter with Pisgah Area SORBA. More volunteers need more tools. Our $20,000 Summer Trail Revival will help equip crews across the Triangle with hand tools, power tools, safety equipment, and trail-work supplies. Help us welcome more volunteers and care for more miles: every.org/torc/f/summer-trail-revival 📅 On the calendar: • Sept. 18–20: Old Fort camping trip • Oct. 3: le tour de femme at Little River Regional Park • Oct. 10: Volunteer Appreciation Day at Williamson Preserve—watch for private invitations.
