So I just got done. The improvements and changes are incredible. Thanks so much for all the people who put into work. Yeah, on the blue trail near The Pedestrian railing bridge that was horrendous.Pretty good shape - other than the end of blue from the bottom of that roller to the railing bridge - that section is a disaster. Just 2 little mud holes on orange.
I was going to bring a shovel tomorrow. Think I can fix it??Pretty good shape - other than the end of blue from the bottom of that roller to the railing bridge - that section is a disaster. Just 2 little mud holes on orange.

that guy is very good at digging, just tell him there is gold in 6mr and he is gullible enough to tear it up.I think it will take more than a shovel - maybe something like this to make a trench to the creek
conditions were sweet, dare i say dusty in some spots. trails are fast.
someone knock me down on strava for the new red segment, im not comfortable being top 3 lol.
I rode the loop, first time since new years day. Pretty much awesome.got my first summer 6MR canal side loop in this morning.
Was surprised to see the mud puddle on blue - on the lower, off-camber turns from being rutted out when muddy.
Bad one coming off the hill approaching the iron bridge. We are going to need a reroute.
otherwise get out there.
The new stuff approaching the stream crossing at blackwells mills is awesome, as is the new trail that takes the ride off the field side.
Rode the nica modification from Jaques too. Great addition.
Thanks @jdog.
Hey!!!!Yep - the Canal lot was packed. I felt lucky to get a spot when I pulled in. Spotted Dan above when I was starting (I was wearing the Halter's "unicorn" jersey).
The trail conditions were great other than a couple of slightly wet spots. Definitely crowded, so blind corners were taken a bit slower than usual. My legs were fried from a long road ride on Sat anyway, so I wasn't planning to set any Strava records anyway. Cleaned all of the punchy climbs on Red, so the legs weren't feeling too bad. Hopefully I'll get another ride in tomorrow. Need to start "training" for the 31 Days of July Challenge.
Super stoked that so many people are lovingly the work I’ve been doing. I was just recognized by the park for my efforts.
Seems they might have been wrong to reject me for those years before finally giving the green light for trail building at 6mr
The next few days are looking hot and dry, so it’s likely to become dusty this week.
Ill be out with the brushhog this week which should help with the sight lines and ankle slappers
In return I ask the same that I always do.
Join JORBA at a JORBA.org and if you see fit, spend a few bucks in an independent bike shop of your choice (not just mine) this summer. Weve seen over 20 local shops shutter in the last two years. Supporting a local shop keeps the local stoke alive and keeps people like me and @jimvreeland going.
Took the boy out for a short ride this morning.
Lot was packed. Lots of other kids out there too!
