I don't think it was a fatal, Prokop is in surgery right now according to the news…

Who is responsible for the lame shit on bloggy and shotgun, pretty soon there wont be a root in sight and its gonna turn to shit once the rain comes. Why does someone/s keep removing roots and rocks (Lame)

Woodlot is dear to me, but its turning into poo-poo

Whomever is responsible should put the mtn bikes aside (retire) and get a cruiser bike and go ride the seawall…its root free

Hoping someone can explain this to me and others who share the same concern…. i hope there are some big plans, other than whats currently going on.

I guess the people removing the roots don't realize that they are what holds the trail [HTML_REMOVED] dirt together. Of course they wanna tackle the lowest trail on the mountain. Hiking up [HTML_REMOVED] working on a higher trail would require too much effort.

Don't worry, just need more rain to do some trailwork to fix what has been going on. I took a look in a few of my dirtholes today and it is all unusable yellow powder an inch below the surface.

speaking of it i rode the other nite and it looked liked someone was starting to mod the lip on the last drop by the stump as you leave the trees and cross into the clear cut

No mod, just rotting and in need of a rebuild.

Ha , not sure myself but basically a mindset in which you have Woodlots best interest in mind.

Which is all good if it was the work (or comparable) of the fine folks already tending to the Woodlot, however it doesnt appear that it is the work of the current crew . The Crew I refer to are the ones who care for B-line, H[HTML_REMOVED]J, Giant Killer etc.

I'm hoping Mandatory is included in your "etc." I haven't been to Woodlot in months and rest assured that neither Cratagus nor I would rip out roots or rocks that hold the trail together. Some armoring was completed on Shotgun in the Spring and still remains (hopefully to the satisfaction of all users) but if anyone has questions or concerns they can PM me.

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Yah sorry guys….. Your work should have been mentioned above, Everyone likes your trail and work …. I ride them often and your work is holding up well .

On another note there is a tree down on Upper Shotgun second to last corner. A fold up saw would be perfect to cut and remove as it's the tip of the tree, perhaps 3" diameter . I Nearly played Joist with it earlier today.

Heads up…..
