I am getting back on the bike tomorrow. Nothing too hard, doctor has asked me to be mellow for another month.(like i was really some big hucker anyways) Just want to get a feel for the bike again. Going to head over in the morning. Anyone else????

If I can't get a ride to go snowboarding, I'll see you there.

I'm in. Especially since I spent the entire afternoon down there by myself today. Looking like Pip's down for tomorrow as well.
Glad I had my FF helmet with me...I sure needed it.
It wasn't a total waste of time going today...

...going to wait until it gets tracked out a little bit before going much further with it. There's a stepdown in the future there for sure.

Nice Andy! Exactly what we were talking about. Nice work. Yes...I think a medium size stepdown/drop towards the top of the hill, would work well!

How is the angle looking to the double? Does it need a berm?

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

I'm sure a berm near the cut wouldn't hurt. Not much as far as roots, so it should be easy to manipulate. Then again, we haven't found a kitchen sink...yet.
It lines up a little smoother than the reg. trail entrance - although Ted pretty much cleared it yesterday when that tight turn was slop. He's slightly more skilled than a fair share of the folks that ride there.
If I did the math right, there would be a line with nine/9/IX hits on it once that's done.

p.s. - Tooled around the singletrack and it's pretty messed up in spots. Lots of blowdown. Perimiter Trail on the far right about 1/10 mile in has large branch blocking it. I can only imagine there's a few more throughout the park. Stay alert!

 

[KNine]

I am going to hold off till tomorrow before head over. Going to help a friend do some stuff today and to be honest i am still a little fearful of getting back on the bike.

I'll be there around noon. See you there monkeys!

 

[DesuL]

Looks sweet Andy! Can't wait to get out and ride. Im off the bike till the doctor gives me an ok from my car accident at christmas. But I have been buying some bigger and better parts for the bike so all is not lost.

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

Sucks that you're down, Dave. At least you have something to look forward to down the road...er, trail.

So, the big question is "where was everybody today"?

No big. Pip & I were pretty busy anyway. All you people would have interrupted us from our labors. Not many changes on the regular lines. Just some sprucing up on the top section and a couple little things near the middle.

Look before you leap!

 

[carbuncle]

Up in Bellingham enjoying Cedar Dust and the Ridge Trail, Bob's and any number of trails almost to the top whose names I couldn't figure out on that one guy's weird maps. Gave one of my maps to a pair of lost hikers (the woman kept saying "I knew we should have gotten a map!") and the guy of the two got precious because it was moist with trail mud and Carbuncle juice. Good times, good times...

 

[stacy1]

I will be there today around 2 or so. Getting married this weekend, things have been crazy!!

 

[Big B]

Nice to see you've got your priorities in order.

 

[fuzzycatnuts]

That line looks good Andy. Think you will have more speed coming into the gap over the concret? I was thinking of making the landing taller. I have been skiing the last 4 weekends, I have been iching to do some building, maybe I will make it down this week and fix some of stuff I built after the rain came.

 

[jimbo_the_biker]

I went down there for a while yesterday, that place has changed! Its been about 4 months or so since I'd been there, and there is at least 4-5 times the amount of fun stuff! On the way out I noticed that I had a bent chainstay though, so time to pick one bike up from the shop and deposit the other.

-James.

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

I'm thinking that once it gets tracked in a bit, we will probably need to bank the last part before it approaches the takeoff on your gap. It's pretty raw/choppy at present, but it will smooth out soon enough.

 

[Big B]

The place was awesome on Sunday! To those who keep the place groomed, great job and thanks!
