Hey guys I'd love to help clear this out but I am at the beach on vacation! TAS

Cleared this out during the scheduled TM on Saturday 8/16. And hand trimmed on the way in and out. Grail needs a trim but it is perfectly rideable. TAS

Trees on Blue and Orange have been remediated! Went old school and used the Katana....What a nice afternoon for a walk in the forest. The one on orange took awhile as it was covered in thorns! Logs in images have been removed from the trail bed. TAS

Al, I'll get out there tomorrow and clear them. Will post pics. Every time I ride SOB I have been looking at that tree and wondering when it was gonna break! TAS

Al reported a tree partially blocking upper blue where we just did TM! The open space the pic is the margin not the trail bed. I got out there today and cleared it. Cleaned up a few other things in and out. Oh did I mention it's HOT? Congo hot and bugs! No after pic, but it is gone. TAS

Mick and I were able to get out there at noon today. Bugs were not bad at all. The two big ones are cleared. Took 2 hrs and in and out. We cleaned up a bunch of other small stuff and widened margins. That included a few standing dead trees that were rotten. No Elves were harmed! TAS

Al, we haven't done that section in quite some time. It also needs to be remarked. That hollow tree looks pretty gnar. Look out for displaced Elves! TAS

Cleared this today on Red Trail adjacent to West Picnic - Farmhouse area. TAS

Bridge near Conover road is still out but this section is ready to ride once again! You just have to dismount and walk on the stepping stones. What a lovely morning and a great crew! TAS

Al, Thanks for the location update. See you on Sat!

Al, I will be there....Usual time 9AM and where is the meet up point? Volley ball - marina parking lot or.....? TAS

Saturday 6/7/25 Al, Mick and Rudy did an off schedule TM on Red trail between Volley Ball area and West picnic. Red was brush hog double sided cut. Line of sight lines near the old farmhouse were trimmed back and opened up for safety. Crossover trails under power lines were also trimmed...

I'll work anywhere for those peanut butter treats!:thumbsup: TAS

Tree has been cleared!! We ( Al, Mick, Rudy and I ) did some TM last evening with the brush hog on Red from the east picnic side up to the tennis center. Cleared margins and cut back overhead branches. TAS

Waiting to hear from Al. I hope that he will send out a notice soon. There was some discussion a while back that orange and yellow trails in Van Nest needed a trim. Weather forecast for Saturday is not looking very good at the moment.. TAS

There are two big "over the trail" trees on Red. The one in your post above and the second about 50 yards back. The one in your pic is a toughie because there is a lot of clearing that has to be done near the base. Mick & I looked at that one more that once... Perhaps we pass that job on to the...

Ride Report Tuesday April 29. West Picnic and into Van Nest. Dry trail surfaces. NICE! Pax Twisty, Yellow, Orange and short section of red. Previous trail margin cutback work with brush hog has worked very well. As posted previously above there are a few trees down in the BMX pit area. Tree 1...

Turns out I had some free time this afternoon and cleared the tree on Blue trail. People had already piled up branches to get over it. DIdn't get to the other two near West Picnic area. I sure wish the park had a reporting system so that folks could report a blockage and the parks saw -...
