Sunday work update and pics

Jeremy and I worked this morning. It was only us, so we did not get everything done. We did complete the RG, which involved lots of large fill, bigger boulders and earth from Hump. We spent nearly 3 hours on it, including the entry/exit tread and trannies, plus the small jump/roller on the alternate line. Rawk Garten - it's still challenging, but definitely more doable, it was ridden by many with and without success. The small jump was hit and held up well.

In addition to that I cut the beginning of the tread/corridor to the south of RG (above it) that leads to the last bit of tech before the DT. I cut only a few feet in, but flagged the rest. The bit closest to the DT I stacked rocks in lieu of a flag. This last ridge piece is just a short little bit but it's a nice piece.

By the time I left at 12:15 I saw 19 riders. The first couple riders that showed up this morning texted me their info to offer help. Later a couple of bored housewives tried to take Jeremy and I into the woods to express their appreciation (true-ish story)- us being married, we declined. A group of 7-8 from the 512 MTB Facebook group rode it. They expressed much appreciation. The last guys of the day were older guys - 50s, on big travel bikes and loved the whole thing, guy came up and said, "Thanks, I have to shake your hand."

I found that telephone pole I remembered seeing, it's just to the left of the trail entry into the ridge above RG. I figure we can cut it into 2' sections and use it for roller/jump fill or evening use it to help create a bridge in Gnarl's Barkley. 

Tools are all on the new side of RG now.

Looking from DT - subtle line of rocks on the left side are the flag.

This is the existing beaten path of the west side of DT.
