But f the weeds.

Cutting weeds this morning by the steel bridge. Get it before the rain.
Hell yeah. Rode a full loop last night for the first time in some time. We still need a few more people to do some trimming, but the park it’s running pretty well. A bit more rain would be nice, but the dirt is still primo.
There's an ongoing need for trimming this time of year, the weeds grow so quickly. Did some yesterday afternoon on blue and red to open up the sight lines on some of the blind corners.

I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the section you cut. I took care of the rest - from the bridge all the way up and down the hill to the long bridge.
Next spot is the bridge closer to the canal lot on blue - it’s going to get overgrown fast. Hope to hit it tomorrow morning if possible - just a matter of motivation for me.
I rode instead of swing a hedge trimmer around for an hour. Here’s the spot if someone feels inclined to cut. Shouldn’t take more than an hour fo’realz. Start at the dot and go in both directions, mostly from the bridge back towards the Canal lot. If it’s not done by Sunday I’ll get it next week.
Btw - conditions be good post-rain again.
So what is left to cut back? Should I head out?
You know it's kind of like painting the Forth Bridge😀.
I rode red and orange on 27 side starting from Jaques this evening with a few stops on red to do some trimming to open up sight lines. There's more that can be done over there, the first part of the reroute near S Middlebush (before it gets in to the cedars), concrete bridge to red/orange split and on to orange.

Perfect conditions today. Saw only 2 spots with a bit of water. Red dust at the end of my ride. No mud. Have fun.

thanks, yea its a ton drier than I expected.
Orange is fairly fuzzy but not “bad”
The deed is done. Any trimming efforts should head over to the 27 side.

I assume it must have changed a huge amount vs your visit a year ago?
Yeah, last time I was there I passed you while you were working the big machine towards the end of Red by 27.
Awesome work….
