Project # LYW042807
Date:
04.28.2007
With the help of the local biking
community, Dieselbikes was able to complete 100% of our first trail day in
Lynn Woods. This was a huge project and we completed our main goal to cut
and define the trail thread.
All 19 trail volunteers work hard to
complete this 1200+ foot trail section in record time. During the early
morning hours the weather looked questionable, but that did not dampen the
work spirit of the volunteers. This new "Power Line Trail" connects from
the beginning of "Sharks Tooth Trail" near route 1 North and runs up hill
towards "Deep Woods Trail" about 400 feet inside the property line of Lynn
Woods. The work completed this past Saturday is just phase one of the new
"Power Line Trail". Phase two trail work is scheduled on June 24th
which will complete the full path of the "Power Line Trail" totaling an
estimated length of 2000+ feet.
This trail has FLOW….yes I said
it….FLOW! The ideal direction of travel for this trail is to ride from
"Deep Woods Trail" and head towards "Sharks Tooth Trail" near Route 1.
Riding in this direction you will fine tons of natural technical trail
features. As usual, the trail was design to utilize as much natural rock as
possible. This trail features a few rock armored paths, a 10 foot stone
walkway to cross a wet area and tons of twist/turns that will make you feel
like you are riding a slalom course.
Since the trail is new, that means it
is soft, we ask everyone to ride this new section so that the process of
packing the soil naturally will occur. Dieselbikes will continue to monitor
this section for the next few months making any adjustment if required.
Furthermore, we ask all riders who are using this trail not to move or use
any rocks found on the sides of the trail. These rocks are there for a
reason and will be utilized for additional trail armoring in key areas. If
you do not know where this trail is, find someone who does.
I want to extend my personal thanks to
each individual (listed below) that helped complete this project. Some
volunteers arrived mid morning and had to leave early, so we did not get
their names, but still want to say thanks. This was a large scale project
and everyone worked there ASSES off! I look forward to see everyone again
in future trail builds and/or maintenance projects.
