Special Reports
The Bruce & Tom's Initiative
The plan has been drafted long enough
and now it is time to execute! Dieselbikes is proud to present The
Bruce & Tom's Initiative. We are going to apply the same level of
commit we provide in Lynn Woods and deploy these factors to Bruce and Tom's.
Working in conjunction with private land managers, we have been given the
green light to begin a complete overhaul of this trail network.
This is a 5 year project plan that
will encompass trail mapping, trail marking, trail naming, replacement of
aging wooden technical trail features (TTFs) and new technical trail lines.
Many love B&T's and Dieselbikes plans on helping in the developing of this
super fun mountain bike location.
Like Lynn Woods, B&T's has seen its
share of increasing bike traffic and now has grown too large for any small
group of rides to maintain. Among this increased traffic, problems
with stolen cars, ATVs and dirt bikes have been playing havoc with the
trails. Methods to control the trail entrances will be employed to limit and
or resolve some of these problems.
Dieselbikes is not just assuming
mountain bikers are the only trail users at B&T's. Our ultimate goal
is to develop a trail network that is suitable for multi-trail users in
certain sections while cutting other trail sections that are more mountain
bike specific similar to some found in Lynn Woods. We will also work
with Essex County Greenbelt to incorporate there lands into this trail
network and work to develop a practical location for parking.
When does this initiative start?
It starts TODAY with your help. Dieselbikes is putting out a request
for donations of material and or money to help build and support this great
trail location. We are not looking for much, but any donation of any
size will be accepted.
