just gonna put that here.

temps are meant to climb tomorrow. I'd expect the white stuff to clear out pretty quick but who knows.

You can hardly notice it!

nickel, were you guys prepping the aline irrigator for the freeze or was it bust?  (Or none of the above)

both...

if you come from after Atlantis, speed is an issue. there's a sort of drop in you can walk up that puts you back at trail speed. vision of the trail above is good and there's literally no reason to snake anyone. sounds like run of the mill bike park people though.

dirt is so damn good right now, tomorrow will be fantastic. 

opened dirt merchant to rutabaga today. a bit wet in a spot or two and obviously soft but fun indeed. for anyone on the fence about coming tomorrow, it'll likely close again Sunday when the monsoons return.

ha! sidetrack! good one!

closures linked to golden triangle and dirt merchant projects.

I’m sad Dirt Merch has been dead most of the year.

Really mother fucking sad.

I'm sorry you are sad. just remember that the brightest sunshine comes after the darkest rain. 

speaking of rain, if it could stop doing that for a while, we could get dirt merchant open...

indeed. will come together quickly though, now that we're done harvesting rock. now if only the machines would stop breaking.

it's a complex project. rutabaga needs to be realigned to work with the drop over it, as well as a few changes to add features. golden triangle and ezdi also get realigned to make space for a third overpass and free up the space to keep ezdi separate from dirt merchant and reduce traffic conflict between different user groups. The third overpass will also need to accommodate rutabaga. lots of fine tuning to make everything work well. 

having said that, we're discussing leaving the 3rd overpass for the fall and buttoning everything up to the creek gap to give the people a second taste. we shall see.

Yeah, just to confirm, if you're going to ride Creekside, don't eat shit and don't flat.  Especially on your front tire.  Thanks to the Seattle couple who insisted on giving me a tube and letting me use your pump.  (My front was flat by the first berm of South Park).

nickel, any news on Dirt Merchant?  I'm really missing her.

much work to be done in dirty merch.
