If the weather is good, I'm thinking of some riding @ the shed this saturday. Anyone up? Anyone else have the use of a shuttle vehicle? I may be able to swing a truck.

Mr. Wask. Im not sure which particular random tree chopping you are refering to and if it is malicious to our trails or not BUT.... from what i was informed by a local gentleman he said that the state is in the process of removing a non indigenous tree from the watershed because it is very fast growing, much faster than the slow, old growth oaks we have in MD and can take over a forest and force out the old growth oaks and prevent any new growth. this tree has characteristics of smooth, lightly colored, thin bark, straight trunk and branches and often grows in almost a patch with three or more trees within a couple of feet. I ran into a forestry maintenance group working on the steep side the other week and they were felling 2-6" trees left and right so if you see trees cut down with chain saws in mass and just left where they fell this is why, the state is trying to stop this species from growing before it damages the shed's ecosystem. if this not what you are refering to and there is some dick cutting down old growth oaks in the shed, keep an eye out and remember helmetes make great wepons.Whats the deal with the random tree chopping? Anyone know whats up with that?
This is exactly what I'm talking about. However the thing that made it seem odd is that the trees weren't cut all the way down. They just had chainsaw cuts about halfway up damaging, and probably killing the tree, but not felling it completely.[Tha]Shovla;2879521 said:Mr. Wask.

I was up there, there trails were dry, but not too dry, about perfect. It was about 45 degrees, but not bad with your gear on. The shuttle road was dusty though.i just got back from a pretty epic buzzard rock loop at EF. we are hitting up the shed for shuttling tomorrow. is anyone else going to be up there and for those of you who were up there today, how were the conditions?
EF was dry and a little chilly... and we only saw 2 other bikers out on the trail.

That sucks, hope you heal up soon. The shed was awsome today, trails were perfect. I did lose my helmet and goggles, somehow. I sort of want a new helmet but I would like them back. Its a black azonic helmet that has all the stickers sharpied over. If you see it or have it please let me know. Thanks.I was referring to I. What'd you do?

Riding in the shed two weeks ago, trying to be cool and jump/gap a rock garden section that was a little down hill shooter opposed to keeping wheels on the ground and just picking a line. I wasnt ballanced center and so when my fork hit the rock i was using as a booter to get air it compressed and sent me over the bars, my right knee was not tucked in and i took the edge of a large rock to the soft fleshy area right above the knee cap. swelling is gone, bruising is gone but there is a soft bump about the size of half a golf ball where the impact was and i can feel the tendons and ligmanets are still weak even though i have about 95% mobility of the knee. 45-50 hrs a week on my feet at work doesnt speed up the healing but i can feel it improving, i hope to be on the bike week after tomorow. But who knows. its early in the season so im in no rush to get back, plenty of riding leftI was referring to I. What'd you do? I broke my kneecap in the foam pit at ray's.
sorry to hear you couldn't find your helmet. hopefully, someone just picked it for you thinking everyone had left for the day since we were the last ones left on that side.I did lose my helmet and goggles, somehow.

my shoulder hurts too much to pick up a gallon of milk, but I still can't stop grinning. I like bikes too much.What a GREAT DAY!
I also met up with a group with an "Evan" who gave me a lift. Thanks guys it was fun. How did the one dude turnout who ate it on the new trail?Saturday was sweet indeed. Wish I could have made it out on sunday. I should have read this earlier. Big thanks to Evan and crew for the shuttle! The hike was really getting rough. I have to try to work out some runs next weekend.
