How do you build sustainable lines with 10% grade in sandy Monmouth County soil ?
Add rock and armor the trail.
We've been adding rock to the Water Tower flow line for the last month or so. Everyone loves the work we did on this trail last year but it's just too steep for the soil structure and is really hard to maintain.
This rock should help keep the bikes from wearing down the tread and slow down the erosion process. Luckily we have the rock and the crew to make this happen.
We work every Monday from 9am-12pm. Come out and help if you can, we have a lot of projects ahead and we can use the help. Reach out to me for details.
This is native rock we added several weeks ago.
We dig the rock in and just leave the top exposed. Dirt washes off the tops when it rains and exposes the natural surface.
Original graveyard section, over the rock is the line.
