JORBA: Ringwood
JORBA.ORG
Jorba Ringwood Trail work crew is back out working. First on the agenda for this year will be drainage / tread work repair and trimming brush on existing trails. A large leaner is hanging over the trail on the western end of Crossover Trail. We have already started a minor re-route to avoid that obstruction. It should be open in a week or two. We will most likely work on Crossover in that vicinity for the next few months. Stay tuned for volunteer work dates including Dirty Thursdays dates to be posted shorty.

Dirty Thursdays starting June 13th. ( no work on 6/20 or 7/18 )

This year we will be mixing it up the work times as there are a bunch of retired people that prefer mornings. Some weeks will be 9am. and others 4pm. I will try to post up here in this thread, or you can contact Art ringwood@jorba.org

We are working to re-route the trail around.

There’s one on the red re-route just over one of the new turns just uphill of were the new trail meets the old one. Leave or take down? It’s biggish but doable with a 20” chainsaw…too steep an angle?

Yes I have seen that one. It should be ok. The one on crossover was forcing riders to the side and a possible head bumper.
 
We were able to top the stone crush with dirt on the lower Crossover trail causeway today. There is a little more work to be done on the west side of the bridge over the next few days. Then we are moving up to the sewer line to address some drainage and erosion problems. The sewer line between the alligator and Shepherds lake may be closed for a day while work is under way. The Crossover trail will remain open. Just take it up to Shepherds lake rd. Thanks for your cooperation!

Did you all get some digging in Saturday? I popped up that way Friday forgetting the work was happening and saw the clearing and raking!
 
The sewer line work is not done, but machine work is complete. There still are some soft spots and only half has had finish work. The treads are on the bridge, but he curbing is not installed. Please take caution. There will be a group of volunteers working on Thursday morning. Closed signs have been taken down.

That looks fantastic! The ramp leading to the bridge is that stone slab the you were going to use across the little creek further down? I guess a couple of days of good weather on top of all your work worked like a charm, looks nothing like the sloppy mess it was on Sunday! Great work as Usual Ellen, Art and Tom! Is that Steve hiding behind the bucket? LOL

The jump at the beginning is excellent. I hit it yesterday for first time and I sent it deep today. I also applaud the little clean up at the beginning of the trail by tank. Can go back to hammering it again. Good job all!
 
The one spot is still squishy. Hopefully that will tighten up this week. Art plans to work more on that section Thursday Morning 9am "killer AARP group". Meet at the bridge. Volunteers welcome.
