What we will be working on in the future....a new trail. And just for Crashburn...no trail machines will cut it. We will cut it all by hand.
Hope everyone can make it out for the fun...
hand built..WTF... we need a kabota to build the mammoth water bars/launchers/speed controllers/huge mounds of straight up, no flow, poor placement..too many, way too many, dirt jumps that i've yet to see in a published trail building manual.
i may not be available afterall. some old friends are driving cross country to cali...and may be here in boise that night. if so, i'm out for this week.
what kinda work is this al? where? how much work are we talking (hours wise)?
i'll get in touch with my traveling friends...and find out where they are, when to expect them, etc.
The work will involve bench cuts, and some raking. I estimate that the trail will take 80 hours of labor. As for the where, I'll save that privilege for all that work on the trail. It is the only thing I can repay volunteers with...that privilege. Everyone else gets to ride it after we are finished.

What we're experiencing is 920 meters of singletrack in the process of being birthed. I added some new dilations last weekend. This baby ain't no brownbagger. Here's a map showing you where it is.
Vizsla friendly distance for sure. Make sure you bring a dog bowl. I'll have tools for 4 or so. If you must bring a tool, bring a Mcleod or garden rake. All we will be doing is clearing a 24" path in the forrest floor, aka grubbing and clearing to dirt according the the Forest Service Manual and the example section R2R has provided up there. We will NOT be moving dirt on Thursday, but will be doing the chain gang thing a and moving a lot of debris.
If we finish that, I'll show everyone the type of bench cut work that R2R expects.
I would like to show up with my Daughter. Is this trail going to be easily accessible? Will we be riding to it? Is the school parking lot you speak of the one off of Bogus Road, I'm not to familiar with that area. Thanks.
There were five of us tonight. Not too sure how many feet of trail we put in, but we did a bit for a couple of hours. If Explorer and MTBR ever let me upload pix, you'd see what we worked on.
