More work
I have been up on that trail a few more times in the last few weeks. My buddy Dave and I went up and did a bunch of work and scouting. We also brought our bikes so we could sample the goods. There were a few stunts that I had built but had not ridden yet. First we hit the diving board log.
This one I had done before but it was a first for Dave. We headed down a mile or two and saw a bear up ahead. It scurried off before I could get the camera out. Next we got to this stunt.
We gave it a go. It was no problem. It worked just like I had hoped.
Next we came to the big one that I was a little worried about. It is a big log ride across a creek. In the middle of the log your wheels are about 8' off the ground. The onramp concerned me a bit to because it was a little steep. Dave was willing to try it first.
No problem. He did it first try. I went next and was successful as well.
After that we rode back up the road to the truck. We finished the day exploring on the North end.
On Labor Day my ride plans with the Krankin Kiwi fell through so I headed up to put in some new trail. I wanted to clean up the last section that I worked on and push the trail all the way up to the Jordan Peak lookout road.
I started by cutting a few trees from the trail. I had my eye on a big log that I wanted to make a log ride out of.
I built a ramp up onto the log. This will be a good one to try.
I also put in a jump over a log.
I worked my way up the trail and into an area where the trail was gone. Fire had taken out the area many years ago and the recovery efforts destroyed the trail. I could find the trail at the 2 ends so I put in a route between the them. Here are some pics.
I can't wait to try this stuff out. Don't worry Dean, there are ways around all of the stunts.
