TRAIL ARCHIVES ~ Trail Maintenance - 2007

Lynn Woods Trail Maintenance Day # 2 - Sponsored by JRA Cycles -

Project # LYW052607

Date: 05.26.2007

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.
