December 12 Night Ride is On

We're on for tonight.  Sounds like good weather...enjoy.

Swope Wednesday Night Mountain Bike Ride with parking up top.

Here's how it works:

Gate entrance will open at 6:30 and close at 6:45. If you come after 6:45...tough luck.

You can ride as long as you'd like as long as you want as long as that means you're done by 8:50p. You can leave anytime, but the exit gate wil be locked at 9pm.

We've been able to work out this deal to allow us to do this ride, don't ruin it for everyone else. If we have problems we will simply no longer do this ride.

Wudchuk Run (Homestead) Work

Another great day of rock work...

Sunday Afternoon Work

Quick update from this afternoon (Sam, Joe, Dick, Travis, Craig):
-We continued worked on the benchcut from the creek to the powerline road.
-Destaubed the loop all way to the Playground.
-The GWP drop is cleared and ready for dirt work.

Scott, Travis, and I will be working on the rock chute this week.

We plan to have a work day in 2 weeks, December 1st.  Details to follow.

Workday Recap

Perfect trail work weather today. We had 18 people show up and bust out some choice bench cut and corridor work. Travis, Sam, and I rode the benchcut afterwards...we will need to do very little work to finish the line..we nailed it and it has beautiful flow. Good Job, everyone! The corridor for the whole Homestead area is nearly done as well. It's going to be a hard but fun area.

Hogan/swimming pool at Camp Lake of the Woods on top of the hill. From the main Swope trailhead, drive up Oakwood Drive, take a left at the "Y" and continue on about 300 yards. See map on the right hand side of the page for directions to the Swope Park trails.  We will then drive to our hike in point.

Tools:
The usual trail tools...Rakes, Shovels, McLeods, Pulaskis, Rogue Hoes, Weedeaters, Blowers, Handsaws, Chainsaws, etc. If you don't have tools, come anyway...we should have plenty.

Long pants
Boots/Shoes with protection
