We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
Wow, that's impressive. I'm curious about your soil type and conditions. We have some outcrops on our DH runs that look like your "before" but the soil is really sandy. I'm not sure a fix like that would work for us but it looks great. Do people bitch at you when you fix things? (changing the trail for repair/sustainability)
hard to call it sanitiizing , when it is a brand new trail ior in this case finishing trail we started last year , and traying to make them Maintanable but still have the fun factor and in doing so, we are adding technical trail features. so we are trying to make it win win.
and also rember they are never too young to swing a Pick

Our soil type includes 80% rocks 10% roots and 10% soil. :mumble:
We have to work really hard to find good soil and rely on the use of wheelbarrows to transport the soil to where it is going. Have to hack of the duff, and then find limited dirt after weeding out the roots and rocks. The stuff we do find is generally of high quality, there's just not enough of it around. Being Massachussets, the transitions have a base layer of granite and then the gaps and top layers are completed with the high quality soil.
Also, we aren't actually sanitizing this particular trail, but actually layed it out last year and built it from scratch. The transitions are features we are adding to the trail for flow, and everyone that is riding the trail has had nothing but good things to say.
Linky The first set of pictures from this link will give you an idea of the soil conditions we have.
