Me and Bill cleared alot of down trees and brush today and the trail is in great shape and very dry.Except the area near the soccor field.Just take the shorcut on the NW side of the circle and your good to go.THere is one tree down in the trail in the circle that me and Bill are going to clear tomorrow at 1.THen we are going to get in a few laps if anyone wants to join us.David will need to chainsaw the tree but we should be able to remove enough of it to ride.

We had the trees and the rest of the trimming done by around 2.Thx a lot to traveler420 for the chainsaw.We found one more big tree that was down and with him we cleared it in ten minutes.As dry as it is it can take a little rain and still be good by Thurs.Be cautious over by the river some more land fell off so you get a little close to the edge.There is about 30 minutes worth of minor trimming to do I will try to do it Tues

Great job guy’s, I’m glad y’all were able to get the dead fall cleared up and back to rideable conditions even if it was only for a day or so. And it’s a sham the erosion is claiming so much real-estate along the river. That will have to be adjusted.

How many hours did y'all work? I am trying to keep track of time spent working on the trail.

[MontyV]

I did about two hours saturday on the first section.It had 3 places it was impassable.A few of us worked a couple hours Sun.The spot near the river needs to be looked at pretty soon.There is under three foot from a tree you have to go around to the edge.It should be a easy reroute.

There are still a few face slappers but it sure was fun to ride on dirt. Special thanks to traveler420 for bringing the chainsaw.

[MontyV]

I put in three hours today.I finished trimming and did a reroute on the spot where it was close to the river.I think it should be dry enough to ride by Thurs afternoon.

what kind of job do you guys have that enables you to do trailwork and ride during the week? I definately need one of those.

removed some low hanging branches from impeding my flow. quite a few face slappers that need to be removed. other than that, decent trail conditions, not too dry not too wet (except for the soccer field area) just right! And about 2/3 ridable.
