Lynn Woods Trail Maintenance Day # 1
Project # LYW042206
Date:
04.22.2006
The first Trail Maintenance Day for
Lynn Woods was completed on this past Saturday. This was an ambitious
project and we are happy to say 100% of this project was completed.
1600 feet of NEW technical singletrack was cut at the top of the hill behind
the ball field parking lot. Many who know the area understand getting
to this location is a tough climb up, but future trail days by Dieselbikes
will resolve some of these issues.
All 23 volunteers worked hard to
complete this new section of trail in record time! The trail runs
through rock formations to ensure long term use and 4 stone walkways were
built to reduce trail erosion in key areas. This trail includes MANY
technical rock features such as kickers, rollers and has a natural direction
of flow. Yes, I said FLOW! This is probability the first trail
in Lynn Woods that you can say has real FLOW.
I ask everyone to ride this new
section so that the process of packing the soil naturally will occur.
My team and I will monitor this section for the next few months making any
adjustment if required. If you do not know where this trail is, find
someone who does. Dieselbikes will be showcasing this trail during the
Lynn Woods MBAS event on June 25th.
I want to extend my personal thanks to
each individual (listed below) that helped complete this project. This
was a huge project (1600 feet of trail) and everyone worked there ASSES off!
I look forward to see everyone again in future trail builds and/or
maintenance projects.
