trail day

larsson and i met up with jeff, wes and svestka for some more work a new extension of mothers day. lots of work got done over two days of work friday and saturday that i wasn't able to make it to. huge thanks to everyone that made it out, the trails look awesome. gonna head back out this afternoon and give this new section a slight alternate route option that should give it a little bit of personality. rode a rough draft version of the time trials course...it always hurts but it looks like this year its gonna be crazy fast.

trail work

got back on the trails today despite the looming expectations that my legs would still be trashed. i felt surprisingly good...or at least better than expected so i rode about twice as long as i intended to heading out. highlight of the day was realizing that someone has already been out to clean up little bighorn, dustbowl, north 40 and maybe more. i was off in my own world through gunnar and julia and didn't notice if that had gotten done yet or not. big thanks to whoever's gotten out there and gotten after it already. trails look great. time to get out and pay my dues in the next few days. IF YOU RIDE TRAILS...WORK TRAILS.

productive weekend

this weekend was spent working on trails rather than riding them and some pretty good progress was made. spent about 3 hours saturday with alex the scout finishing the construction phase of the structures to be placed along the river trail. now ready to install 2 teeters, 2 skinnies and a jump/drop. will most likely clean a new trail for these sometime this week and hopefully get them installed before a hard freeze makes it tough to dig. sunday i drug larsson out and met up with the group for close to another 3 hours (many of the others were out much longer than that) working on the new section of trail. for a long time we've focused on building harder and harder and more technical trails. this time around they're all about speed. there's a ton of off camber that's getting dug in and some pretty good ravine work as well. should be a pretty rippin fast section when its done. people i saw out busting their tails...deke, doug, jimmy, ogara, spinner, folke, kirk, larsson, sarge, deneb...sorry if i'm missing anyone.

3 hours of trail work and he was toast...took the edge off the pain of watching the bears
