Our last few Monday sessions have been spent armoring the water tower down hill on Grand Tour. Everyone loves this downhill we renovated last year however its showing signs of wear from use in a relatively short amount of time.
Given the sand based soil and speed traveling down the trail, brake bumps and channels have formed. To prevent further deterioration of the trail we have began lining the trail with large rock in areas showing excessive wear. This involves some heavy lifting but is well worth the effort in order to provide a sustainable trail.
As always we are seeking volunteers who are interested in helping on the trails, please reach out or post up if you can help. We do trail work on Mondays 9am-12m, and pruning work on Thursdays from 10am-12pm.
Thanks
These folks deserve some thanks and recognition, there like Amish people building a barn by hand. Yes we hump those rocks down the trail and set them.
