Project # LYW052607

With the help of the local biking
community, Dieselbikes was able to complete 100% of our second trail day in
Lynn Woods. This was another huge project that was back breaking work
but our main goal was accomplished.
A section of trail which climbs up
from the Wolf Pits Bridge towards Boston Rock was severely eroded. A
survey by Park Management left us with no suitable path to cut a new
re-route trail without drastically changing the flow of the current trail.
Regardless of this severe erosion, Park Management wanted to keep this
section of trail open due to its long historical presents and heavy user
traffic.
All 8 trail volunteers worked hard to
complete a massive rock armoring job to repair this section and make it more
stable for all park users. We were able to mine, move and bury over
5000lbs of rock to ensure the trail thread will last for years to come.
By armoring the trail thread, we will greatly reduce the current erosion
problem which is occurring. This section also has been narrowed to
create a better line of site for park users and turn this eroded mess back
into beautiful single-track. We believe in a few years, nature will
re-claim this section and our severe erosion problems will be a thing of the
past.
We ask the local bike community to
ride this section as much as possible to help pack the sand/dirt we placed
on top of the underlying stone work. Dieselbikes will monitor this
section for the next few months making any adjustments if required. I
want to extend my personal thanks to each individual (listed below) that
helped complete this project. This was a small section of trail but the task
at hand was huge. I look forward to see everyone again in future trail
builds and/or maintenance projects.
