Trail is in perfect condition very fast and great traction no puddles. Go ride!!! Thanks to all the folks who keep this trail groomed. Much needed rain soaked in nicely. Get ready to race!

Generally concur, but it could use some trimming past the 2nd road crossing, esp. after Mile 5.

Trail was screaming fast this afternoon. Tree at 5.5 mark is gone, but there was a new tree down at 4.5ish mark. Small enough to hop over.

Trail was damp yesterday but no puddles. Still fast. I saw about a half-dozen disposable water bottles littering the trail... was there some event there recently?

No event recently other than frequent trail use......Those are gifts other riders leave for those of us that ride bareback and lean. They are usually cold in the morning but by mid-day they lose their refreshing qualities.

This Thursday (16th) we will be having a Trail Day to prepare for the upcoming Time Trial Race. Anyone who would like to help will be welcomed. Mostly we will be trimming back the trail corridor, getting rid of those pesky face-slappers etc. Stage at the MMBA trailer at 5:30 or join us on the trail any time after. We have plenty of tools but you can bring your own if you want.

We've got lots of power tools. The gas weed whacker would help. Everything else is covered.

I'm volunteering (for the first time) to help with the trail tomorrow. Should I bring my bike to pedal out to a section to trim, or do we just travel by foot? I have a gas string trimmer and a bunch of hand trimmers that I'll bring....anything else?

Bike is optional, bring it if you want. Bug spray, water, gloves would be good.
