Fromme Mtn, DNV trail work updates

Hello all!

As many of you know, the DNV will be working on a lot of the trails on Fromme Mtn. They received a grant from the government to update and work on the current trail network. Most of the trail crew personnel are mountain bike riders as well.

I'm just posting this thread to give you guys updates on the DNV trail work progress, some photos to show the work and some info on work to come. I thought some of you here might interested in what's happening on the mountain and where the work is happening.

I'll be posting more as time goes by.

Enjoy!

Lower Crippler Re-route
One section of the trail was badly compromising the root system of some 100+ feet trees and had some drainage issues as well as rotten bridges.

Start of the new bridge (70 foot bridge, 3 feet wide)

Rock work at the beginning of the bridge (old section came out on the right of the rock work)

Bridge finished

Braemar trail drainage, steps and new boardwalk

YAY for trail love

And thank you to all the hard work put in by the builders

Very nice, money well spent. Now if only that 70ft bridge was 2ft wide that would be sweet. Nice pictures and thanks for the update.

Holy shit that stuffs looking so sick! Thanks for all the work!

Right on DNV!

Props to all the guys up there doing this amazing work.

Glad to see the DNV working on our side.

Now if only that 70ft bridge was 2ft wide that would be sweet.

Just ride down the middle and pretend it's 1ft wide ;)

Thanks!

Nice work. Very much appreciated.

maybe I shouldn't be so apprehensive about ther district working on Fromme - that all looks quite good

I rode that new section on Cedar today. Very nice work, indeed! Thanks :)

Looking good!

Very nice, money well spent. Now if only that 70ft bridge was 2ft wide that would be sweet. Nice pictures and thanks for the update.

just ride on the very edge of it

Yeah, 2 feet bridges would be nice but on such a long span bridge that is on a multi-use trail (mountain bike primary though), it has to be safe for everyone and last a long time. Usually the bridges would be 4-5 feet with hand rails so I think it's not too bad ;)

Stay tuned, I'll be posting more photos and updates as the work gets done!!!
