Hey guys,
I've been riding these trails pretty hard for a while now and figure it's time to give something back. There's a couple things I've really been dying to do....
The first is to fix all the banks for all the turns that are in and around the blue trail and other chunks of the trails they're dismal shape. I was thinking of putting up some logs behind them to help stop them from eroding away. The other big thing I've been aching to do is to build a set of slightly larger jumps, but after walking through a majority of these trails I can't really figure a good spot for them besides the paths that run outside the woods, but I'm afraid that we're not allowed to build there? Me and a buddy are heading out Friday to fix up some of the trails as well as the parts of the trails that got raped by people riding in the rain (all around the stream cross by the old broken down house) and then start planning out where we could build some new stuff.
The place where the blue trails crosses a bare patch (a big yellow 79 sign + post is there) was also a good candidate but that place looks like it's run by the power/gas company so I don't want to 1) interfere and 2) get all the work we put in mowed down and cause trouble for the people who've been doing things the legit way. So if anyone's got some info let me know, I'm down there a lot, if you ever see an 07 beige CRV come say hi
I'm more than eager to meet some of the other people riding here during one of the maintenance days that's sure to come up.
