Dirty Dave is at it again. I haven’t been able to get out for as much trail work as I’d like to this year, but luckily we’re able to go pretty late this season. Dave has a new zone he’s working in, and this trail promises to be a pile of fun. Nothing gnarly or big, just a long flowy trail like a pump track.
We put in a switchback on a steep slope, and cut a few hundred meters of new trail up the hill. Watch for this one to be open by late May.
I’m still kind of tired from yesterday’s epic. So I guess that digging in the hot sun would be the best thing to do.
In association with Outbound Cycle and the MTBco, it was time to revive the entrance to 2.5 on Powers Creek. It’s been getting sort of run down lately.
About 30 volunteers showed up to dig in the dust.
Dave got us smoothing and widening the whole top section in an effort he called “Operation Flow”.
Lunch was provided by the good people at Il Mercato deli in downtown Westbank. Ryan brought his own beer.
We even had small shovels for anyone with pink sunnies…
And of course Nato showed up late and shredded the trail instead of working. Some had to get first tracks….
I had a couple of hours to kill today, so I managed to get a quick lap in on Seymour.
It’s been two years since I lived on the Shore, but like they say…the more things change the more they stay the same. For instance, Mark is still trying to finish the wall ride on Salvation:
I’m just glad that I got to ride the whole mountain without a flat tire this time. And while a lot of Seymour is showing some wear and tear these days, Boogieman was rad.
