Great writeup! Thank you so much for writing that.

"The energy was infectious." Yes, absolutely! It was hard physical work, but the sense of community made the load lighter, and gave it an additional purpose and connection for all involved. Looking forward to more digs.

These rocks are big and heavy, pics dont do them justice. If you want to get strong, do trailwork, no gym membership required.View attachment 277632View attachment 277633View attachment 277634

Sunday we're looking to be out there 10-1ish again.

Hopefully we'll be just about good to go after one more dig day. Only a couple sections I can think of that will need work after J works today. Gonna ride it Friday and note any sections.

Before I put this out...do you want piles of kids/coaches again?

I think this will be more fine tuning and digging. Probably don't need 40+ people again, though that was incredible.

We may have another new trail in the works and we'll definitely need the masses again for that one!

Sounds good. I WON'T put it out to my team.

It would be awesome (albeit a bit selfish) to find a way to cut a trail that would eliminate a big portion of the grass field for NICA racing...

Lets just say that it's under consideration.

Just remember too though that we want a really good amount of passing zones. That said, we're excited to see what will be approved for the infield upgrades.

Bench cutting the couple climbs, removing stumps from the trail tread, fixing off camber turns, etc. Going to try to get wheels on it tomorrow afternoon to see what exactly is needed. It didn't seem like much from walking it.

Shovels, mcleods, travises, couple loppers and maybe a pry bar for some rock work. Going to confirm with Jeremy from Dickerson Mine if he's bringing his team and trailer again this weekend. If he does we'll be more than set with tools.

Edit: confirmed, we'll have plenty of tools and bagels. Just bring yourselves!
