Have heard Grannies is rough, could be a TAP project in 2012?
Not sure what's happening on Expresso? Anyone?
The latter sounds like a job for Superman!

I thought Dieter was working on Expresso this year through the NSMBA. Wasn't that what all the dialogue was about on this thread:

Would be nice to have an update!

Grannies could use some reroute over some lack of flow sections for sure.

Don't mess with Grannies. It flows just fine.

flat sections over root balls with the tree and fallen log lining the route to broken ladder bridge to hole to sticking out rocks is awesome :rolleyes:

Another vote for a Happy/Nimby (or Piece of Cake/ A la Mode) style climbing trail please!

Lots of great work already done on Fromme this year. Awesome to see more happening.

That's already there…80-90% rideable…just don't bring your 40lb bike and you'll be ok…

I am very familiar with the different routes that exists by linking up old skidders and singletrack.

Of that 80-90% that is rideable some of it is hefty grunt in granny gear.

It's not a sanctioned trail thus there is no permit to go in and work towards making it 100% climbable.

I'd like to see it recognized and worked on.

Dieter has been volunteering on Espresso, and put in a weeks worth of work earlier in the season clearing the drainage and decommissioning a few of the unsafe structures.

This thread will help us identify and prioritize projects that go beyond routine maintenance. Keep the suggestions coming.

I'd like to see the continued buffing of Executioner/DW to support what the DNV crew started. Espresso and/or Grannies thereafter. Any/All of this additional work is very much appreciated!
