Already been some great work done on this very high volume trail. Looking forward to seeing the continuation. Expresso all the way back to Mountain Highway would be fantastic.

That is good news.

I'm still stumped on that "elite" maneuver that has to get thrown in the last photo of the article.

I've managed it a couple of times but both times were a full-on Hail Mary kind of attempts - just keep the power coming and hope it grabs. It was a big accomplishment but rarely duplicated.

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.

The new routing around the cobbles from hell is fantastic. Pat's doing awesome work.

Cool! Glad to see it getting some lovin'! As a side note, this makes me realize that I have not ridden on the BP east of Ladies since 2009! I always go west and head out via Pennzoil, Dempsey, Boundary, L Crippler or St Mary's! :alien:

full-on Hail Mary

I'm gonna have to go giver hell and try and make a deal out of it… One of those hopefully redeeming moments where I can bank some fromme nostalgia.

Wow!!! That sequence of shots is very educating for those not in the know RE trail work effort.

Impressive sequence. Thanks sponsors and NSMBA for making this happen.

Hikers, bikers, trail runners, dog walkers- everyone can appreciate this for sure- definitely Trails for All.

Cheers

Very nice and a needed reroute before it fell apart completely.

A technical crux I was able to make quite regularly became a whole lot more difficult over the last year. I can be happy that it I nailed it 2 of my last 3 attempts last week before the new work.
