An issue with some rouge trail work.

Part two, put in a small swale in between part one and the washout area. This drains to the left when going down but is only an few inches below the trail grade. Excess soil was place in the small berm to prevent blow back of excess water from up hill, even though highly unlikely given all the leaves to slow the water down.

Part three, the fail safe. Widen the previous drainway and drop the grade. This retains the grade of the top of the eroded area. The tread grade was dropped slightly to the right, yet not enough to loose the firmly pressed tread layer. Only one laurel was taken out, the others left so people do not think this is atrail.

Part four....backfill. Got to see four riders appreciate the work, all done by a Strava addicted gravity head

Part one - Unblock the top of the trail, the pooling started here and overfilled back to the trail. You could see the leaves and debris had piled up heavily in this area from water flow. This was the area the concrete was sourced from and put in the washout area.View attachment 79145

Thanks dude...

I like, but isn’t that work technically rogue too? Where is the line here?

No this is repairing a section that had washed out and some one put some concrete in at the top as a "jump"
to make this section rideable again it needed some work. My crew fill and tamped then John put the water shedding features in.
He started working with the original ATUG crew with Wally.

Check, just pointing out to those that may not know. There’s a line, but it’s kinda dotted, and the chiggers and ticks keep moving it left and right

Also going on record that ATUG is not end all be all, or any all at all really today
