Wow excellent! Looks like you got them all.

I actually had to go back to my car for additional fuel, the first time I've ever blown thru what I carry on me.

On the fuel subject... Is jorba or some other organization helping with its cost? If it comes out of your pocket, is there a way to chip in and help you with that at least?

Hey thanks for asking! JORBA is indeed reimbursing me for the immediate consumables. I'm also using JORBA issued saws (repairs covered too). There's a bunch of related expenses that I don't present to JORBA though, I just swallow it: Personal safety gear, chainsaw pack, some tools & support. Anything related to my E-bike. It's actually quite a costly "hobby", but I'm fortunately not struggling financially. I really should hit JORBA up for rear tires though! It doesn't take very long for a 207lb guy with a 50lb E-bike, and a 35lb chainsaw pack to shred the best tires money can buy. Surprisingly impressive tire wear.

"Keep paying your JORBA memberships" is really the best answer.

Nice that JORBA supports your efforts. I'm more than happy to support JORBA.

Thanks for all the hard work it’s appreciated every time I ride there.

FYI - Meeting a few guys at DM today, we will take care of that tree on Yellow.

Unfortunately, there's more. I got this one with the Silky at the top of Red, other two were way past that level of sawing.

We missed the one on yellow just after the power lines. Did some minor cleanup of brush and sticks, excited for this evenings ride and BBQ.

That's what I hit the tree I got with. Everything else I came across was chainsaw level lol

Just lmk if it remains. I'll return. Yellow is one of the easier trails to access. I drop in from the warehouse parking lot.

Rode almost everything and no Gomboy was required. Didn't hit inside/old yellow so maybe that's where it is? Green had a bunch of sticks that could be removed but nothing caused us to stop or veer off trail

Probably won't get back there until next week, but I'll check again if it's before you.

Rode everything except Red & Green, it's all clear and running fast !!

Overall good conditions. New Green trail rideable but muddy.
