    MCP Trail Maintenance

    The billy goat mower work looks great! Cutting out multi floral rose, honey suckle and other invasives this time of year is ideal. Its so much easier when not leafed out and temps are colder, allowing for more comfort while wearing protective clothing. The ground can be unpredictable to do...

    2026 fixes, suggestions, proposals

    I rode the Patriots path side recently and its good to see the park using forestry mower to clear invasives over there. Any chance they are going to use that to clear all the barberry on the main trails? It would be nice if the turns at lewmo could be more mtb friendly. Overall the reroutes are...

    My E-Mountain Bike Adventure: Or, How I Discovered Motors Don't Turn You Into a Lazy Sack

    So, they had geared bikes and suspension in your SS days but you chose to suffer without. I'm not sure why. My take on anyone who gets an Ebike. You're gonna get your ballz busted. You bought a bike with a motor. Telling everyone how great a work out an ebike is, will only bring more ball...

    Trail Maintenance - don't do this

    It is relatively easy to pull out, the hard part is disposal. If you dump it off trail it could spread. They recommend bagging and disposing, which is impractical, or drying it out to die. I usually dump it in an area with full sun, with little soil contact. Mile a Minute is a small climbing...

    Trail Maintenance - don't do this

    The vines with red berries is Bittersweet and the vines with green leaves is Honeysuckle. Both are invasive. Bittersweet is heavy enough to pull a tree down. Both these invasives incase a tree to the point that the tree has problems leafing out. This weakens the tree and is more likely to die...
