    Lovin the new work at the oaks, can't wait for a year or so to go by so some stuff can grow in, I think it will shape up nicely.

    lately its been:

    - Deer
    - down Barham Ridge
    - down Chutes, up Chutes B
    - down Cactus, up Bumblebee
    - down Hawk, up Mountain Goat
    - and either up Barham and out, or Cactus/Bumblebee again , up the 3rd B and out.

    Thanks for the info!!! Just curious, did he mention to you where they got the funding for all the work or was it "Anonymously" given?

    Money has come in from several private groups....including an equestrian group, and a group of riders/hikers.

    I'm still kinda shocked at the versatility we have now regarding route selection. I haven't ridden up the bitches in a a long time, there's too many other ways to get up to the top that are more fun now.

    I didn't ask that question, however I have an e-mail from August of 2010 that said it was 95% privately funded.

    I only rode the old oaks once... I like the new oaks better, been there 3 times already and plan to go back more. It's a fun loop with some good areas to play and practice on.
