Tompson St. Reservation /
B& T's Trail Update 05.07.08
Regardless of the heavy rain,
the first Tompson Street Reservation trail project was complete with great
success. This trail project was a combined effort by Dieselbikes, NSNEMBA
and Sinister Bikes with approval by Essex County Greenbelt Land Managers.
The general scope of this project was to re-route an existing trail to more
stable ground and add some “fun” natural technical features.

Lynn Woods Trail Update 04.28.08
With the help of the local
biking community, Dieselbikes was able to complete 80% of our first trail
day in Lynn Woods. This was a huge project and we able to achieve our main
goal of cutting and define the trail thread.
A crew of 16 volunteers work 6
hours cutting, digging and armoring a section of new trail that is sure to
be one of the best lines in Lynn to date for mountain bikers. We were able
to complete most of the required trail work, but not able to finish two
important and difficult switch backs due to time and energy levels of the
volunteers.
Dieselbikes plans on going back
out with our core team to adjust and finish these sections over the next
month.

Lynn Woods Trail Update 10.17.07
With the help of the local
biking community, Dieselbikes was able to complete 100% of our fifth and
final trail day in Lynn Woods for the 2007 season. As usual, this was
another backbreaking project but our main goal and a few extras were
accomplished.
A section of trail that connects
Ridge Run to the beginning of the Ballfield trail (section 5E) just past
Mary Ellen Drive was severely eroded with pieces of asphalt and concrete
dumped around the trail area. It was decided to close this section of trail
and re-route to more stable ground for long-term use. This section was in
poor condition and really did not offer anything fun in terms of technical
riding.
