Snaps for the trail ferries who made GSM, smooth as a baby bottom. Although I love a challenging climb, I dont love it when it is only challenging due to severe ruts and erosion. Good sir Martin is back to being a glorious single track climb and I don't think I've ever had my climb up be that smooth or enjoyable.
I went and donated a little extra to NSMBA today just because of that work.
I was a bit bummed that a couple of spots that I have to pay attention to clean are now gone, but I assume that a smoother trail withstands high use better than a rough one, so understandable if it reduces the amount of maintenance hours required.
Similar on Lower Severed... the new ramp and improved flow is plenty fun, and makes a nice intermediate loop on the lower mountain, but it was always satisfying to get through that rowdy section clean after having had one of my biggest wrecks there when I was a relatively new rider.
It's all good, and thanks to the builders for all they do!
So is it all good to go for the e-bike assault?
Pretty cool and synchronous that Penny Deck won the Nobl wheels trail love contest : https://noblwheels.com/blog/penny-nobl-trail-love-finalist/
The amount of time Penny, Martin and whichever others maintain Penny/GSM/Severed/John Deer must spend out there is insane. Trails running so well this spring despite crazy traffic.
