Groomers!



We've been tuning the north section to perfection!

The leaves are cleared, most of the cuts have been cleared, the cut slope is even turning to berms in sections!

This past weekend we only have five folks show for the workday, but where able to turn even the worst sections of Ridge and Berry Patch into great riding and looking groomers.



Here are some pics to give you an idea....also we finally put the cement in the holes for the benches at the vista! And who keeps backing into the posts in the parking lot, there has been three posts knocked down by drivers!

Trailbunnies?

Didn't know what else to call a day of trailwork on easter.... sorry.

Seeing how this whole maintenance thing has become a religion for a few of us, it was only fitting to wake up on Easter Sunday at 7am to get out to the trails for some trailer-pulling, log clearing fun.

None other than the holiest of trail saints Frank Maguire was out teaching the his young jedi the latest blowdown removal techniques.

All of the blowdowns should finally be off the trails. Dunk was able to finish up some of the leaf litter removal of Alli and Redlegs.

More work to follow!

March 17th Trail News

The trails are finally 100% clear of the snow, and have been drying out from the 3" of rain we recieved of the weekend.

We were able to ride the following with reports following each trail name

Easy Loop
Buck Trail- Leafy no blowdowns
Doe Trail- Leafy no blowdowns
Fawn Trail- Not in great shape but totally rideable leaves in the grade reversals

Osprey- Great Shape just watch the briars at the top of the trail
Hydro Loop- Do not ride it! There is lots of pine trees leaning across the trail

Eagle- Several Wet Spots and two small blowdowns
Switch- Leafy in the turns
Sleek Dog- Several small blowdowns might even be a big one in there somewhere

Alle-grippis-ridge- Watch the leaves as they get deep, also some vines and I think two blowdowns.
Berry Patch- Horrible Shape numerous blowdowns and vines....rideable

I hope to get some of this addressed for the weekend....if you are around give me an email or call.
