Lynn Woods Trail Maintenance Day # 5

Project # LYW101307

Date: 10.13.2007

With the help of the local biking community, Dieselbikes was able to complete 100% of our fifth and final trail day in Lynn Woods for the 2007 season. As usual, this was another backbreaking project but our main goal and a few extras were accomplished.

A section of trail that connects Ridge Run to the beginning of the Ballfield trail (section 5E) just past Mary Ellen Drive was severely eroded with pieces of asphalt and concrete dumped around the trail area. It was decided to close this section of trail and re-route to more stable ground for long-term use. This section was in poor condition and really did not offer anything fun in terms of technical riding.

The new re-routed trail that was cut incorporated a number of small rock features along with a small roller that adds some technical challenges to this section. The entrance/exit of this trail was move to ensure better line of site when riding. Now when you approach this trail split, you need not stop and wonder where to go. The direction of flow is more evident that allows you to keep pedaling without stopping.

Once again we forget to get a work group picture, but we do have plenty pictures below of everyone working hard. I want to extend my personal thanks to each individual (listed below) that helped complete this project. This trail section was short, but we were able to pack in many natural features to make this section fun and flowy. I look forward to see everyone again in future trail builds and/or maintenance projects.
