Summer Building Winding Down

Thanks to the volunteers that came out to work on the Crossover Trail re-route this past week. A good chunk of this re-route is complete. We will probably work a few more Thursdays to finish this section up, so that it can be blazed and opened shortly. Yes, I know I use "we" loosely, as I have not been able to work myself due to a sprained ankle. I hope to be well enough to work next Thursday. While on the subject of volunteers, I would like to mention a few: James and Manny have been above and beyond in not only helping with actual work, but in also helping with planning and leading volunteers. This has been a huge help for Art, and also allows for fresh ideas to come into the mix at the planning and building stages. If you like the trail and run into these guys, please let them know how you feel. They deserve some credit for these improvements.

If you have been out riding these 2 new trails, I'm sure you have noticed a slightly different flow from many other trails in the park and actually less rocks on the trail. This is not a permanent sea change in our trail building style, but rather an attempt to add variety into the park in a way that will suit it's users. As we work east up to Peirson Ridge, the trail will be more advanced as it goes deeper into the park.

If you would like to work the next few Thursdays, please rsvp to Art Wednesday night for his work plans. September hours will count for 2014 race Paydirt points.



Lots of rain this year has made an incredible display of mushrooms in the park. I hope you all get a chance to get out to enjoy in between the rain drops.
