6 Mile Run Conditions
- Thread starter jimf
- Start date
Someone has been making the trails a little more cx bike friendly. There are no log overs, they have all been removed or a bypass has been added.
I would rather see a go around than to see a log completely ramped up.
I have been working my ass off with our new bike shop, so I have had little time for TM this summer. Once the new shop is open, I will be out there making all thing right again. I just ordered a TM secret weapon too.
If you see shortcuts: PLEASE close them down. Take a second and throw a ridiculous amount of branches and debris over any shortcuts you see.

A huge thank you to whomever went out and blocked the couple shortcuts that have started to pop up. You did a great job!
I have been religiously putting debris (whatever I can find close by and drag over) on the corner cuts that keep popping up, but the next day they are tossed aside. So any help getting some BIG debris on them is super appreciated. (I plan on spending some vacation time next week working on it, but any help before that is always welcome) 🙂

Keep it up!
The park official does not like to see the shortcuts. Trust me.
Let's do our best to keep the singletrack.. single!
Someone (not me) has taken the liberty of cutting out a lot of the logs that lie across the trail in various spots.
I really don't like this personally. If no one can ride it, it shold be cut out. Otherwise, they add some challenge.

While I am not a fan of logs, I do appreciate them as either a challenge to try, or an excuse for a rest. What pisses me off is the person who thinks they can go out there and either build them or cut them up without any prior permission from the park steward.
This also bugs me to no end, stay off when wet! If you must ride when it is wet, why not SLOW down, go SLOWLY through the MIDDLE of the puddle, and stop skidding in all the corners, or walk through the puddle if you dont want to get your bike dirty. Look how wide and ugly this section has become 🙁
Think of the hours it will take to fix this. 😡
Any volunteers wanna help me fix this next week? bring a shovel.

going to be a tough spot to remediate - didn't we do a reroute to bring the trail up there a few years ago?
yeah. don't need shovels. need hand trowels to transplant some grasses closer to the edge. that or raise the tread a ton.

Since you plan on moving it, I wont sweat it too much for now. Let me know when you need a hand (of course).

Eh, highly doubtful. Chance of showers tonight and tomorrow. Even if it doesn't rain, Six Mile takes a few days to be rideable. :cry:

Looks like there was 0.5" to 0.75" of rain in the area over the past 2 days.
