Another fun day at the trail. Made it out around noonish and met up with Marc and his boys. We got the first 2 re-routes mowed and wacked. They had to head out, so i kept rolling. Weed wacked for a bit and stopped to top off the tank, ripped the start cord and ended up with it in my hand. Ugh, ran to home depot and grabbed another wacker to keep going. Got the s downhill cleaned up and headed for the north loop for the last re-route. Got the final re-route put in and the bumps shaped for flow. Ended up fooling around and building another wall ride sense our big one is no longer rideable thanks to city dirt work. While i was building that, i eyed another wicked line coming out of the wall ride. It would be a crazy, lumpy line but i doubt it is useable. If it didn't go across the main trail, i'd probably consider it for an alternate line. It would be sweet. Maybe after we get the rest of the trail back open...
As far as the trail being open, we might was well take the closed sign down. Better than a dozen riders out there today and none of them cared if the trail was closed or not. What sucks, is someone is going to get hurt and it will be our fault. Evidently 4' X 4' closed signs at the entrances and caution tape around the trailhead are not obvious enough to stop riders from doing whatever they want.
Rain tonight and the next 2 days. This will be a good test of the erosion control barriers we installed. Gonna head out Wed night and see how it worked and make a final checklist for Sunday trail day. No pics today, kid had the camera shooting video for his gnar kill metal grind whatever core band. 6 hours trail time today, hurt like hell... I'm going to bed...
