We made some nice tweaks to the trail yesterday, adding some in-slope on a few turns and opening up the radius for more flow.

Thanks Brett, Brian, Luke, Pavin, Andrew, Cliff and Andrew.

@pooriggy Was able to get to the rest of the tilling done Wednesday right before a steady rain started a few minutes ago->
and a small water break to boot!
Didn't want that loose dirt to go to waste with pending forecast

That looks like some nice soil. Looks good

@Davis119 ,The soil in the bowl area would make Monsanto drool

If the trail doesn't work out I'm growing tomato's

 

[pooriggy]

Yeah, the bowl is some great brown pow and this tiller I'm using is really boss.
We'll be back at it on Wednesday from 2pm-4:30pm, get in on it now so you can tell your friends you helped build the flow trails at Perrineville.

I tested the trails yesterday on my drop bar bike to see how it would feel for the upcoming 50-mile brew/winery ride (I'm still tweaking the route which will include the Bowl and Mine Hill trail. I'll post more info later in case anyone wants to join us). Ran into John there.

Was in the bowl a bit yesterday as Cliff mentioned, the work Don and Brian concentrated on Saturday hardened up and is bullet proof w/that bit of clay mixed in👍.

It's a good thing b/c I seen 2 full size Street/Enduro/Dual Sport motorcycles w/plates on them across the way exiting towards Pine Hill Rd. I'd been seeing a single wide track tire marks often on the trails for a while now, I wasn't close enough to get plate #'s, any consolation-> it didn't look they where ripping up the place, but really C'mon!🤬

While some grade A material that damp clay beat the heck out of me! Luckily Brian was a damn human excavator and we got a fair bit done - I'd say a decent amount of handcut bench for 2 guys in a 3 hr TM.

The berm and roller need some more tuning and may change shape as the trail above it gets built up but it's pretty fun to get some speed before the berm and skip out of the roller afterward (even tho it is to flat). Excited to see what this trail develops into.

Pics of the section for those not there on Sat or saw it on IG:

Solid crew Saturday morning, we moved a lot of dirt.

Like @don said, this place has a lot of potential. I plan to come in with a machine and do the bowl area up with some fun mtb features. Don has some great ideas for these trails.

We're digging tomorrow, Wednesday from 2pm-4:30pm. 95 Pine Hill rd Millstone.
All are welcome.

Thanks Ann Marie, Don, Brian, John, Andrew and Brett.
