I should be able to make it again. It's the wife's birthday though, so I might have to duck out early.

Thanks to Norm, Matt, Bill, Jim, Greg and Dave for creating some great new singletrack today! The new section looks amazing. This will be a big improvement to the Tourne trail network.

Great stuff coming together at the Tourne. 10 people came out to get a sweet switchback setup. Hopefully the park officials with get the downfall cut and the trail will be opened soon. I heard someone rode all but one log over on initial testing.

I should be able to make it again as well. Any word on when the rangers can get in and clear those trees?

 

[JimN]

They got in there and cut out all the big trees. With enough people tomorrow we should be able to finish up the re-route. It's rideable as is, but will be better with a little bench cutting on the top section and some overall finishing work.

 

[Berms&Boofs]

The reroute is almost ready. We will be making some final improvements this weekend.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it this week, but the trail is already riding great in both directions. I had two different pairs of hikers comment positively on it to me when I stopped to let them by. I told them that if they like it it would be great if they could contact the morris county parks people as we are looking to get permission to build more.

I am questionable this sunday also, will try to make it

 

[gtluke]

I can't make it this week. Bummer.

 

[Berms&Boofs]

The final rock was placed today and the red reroute is ready to ride.

Thank you to everyone who came out this year to help with this new trail!!! JORBAs first full year at Tourne has been a big success!

 

[Frank]

Nice work all!!! Thank you!

 

[UtahJoe]

Excellent work everyone! Hopefully this is just the beginning at this park. Big thanks to Norm, Cameron and the rest of the trail crew.

Good man! Its going to take good practice like this. Hello is great but also reading folks properly and knowing what is a good passing speed or whether to stop. This whole project came close to being shut down because of just one complaint. They seem willing to reward good behavior.
