Trail Work at the Knob

From reading Rody's blog I found out there was a trail day at the Knob this afternoon.  I've always wanted to help out with some donated labor but have not been able to attend in the past.

Rody and Ryan working the dirt.

Many others had the same idea as there were at least 25 or maybe 30 people on scene to get some trail work done.

We raked, groomed, and even cut some new trail.  On Cheater's Hill we did a reroute which should add some more excitement to this downhill section.  The trail was routed back and forth between the banks to make a kind of half pipe run down to the corner at the bottom.  A berm was built at the bottom as well.

The work gets done in a hurry when an

armed mob descends on the task.

Several guys gave the new section a test ride.  Looks like it will be a bit of a challenge to control speed, find the line, and make it through the final corner in one piece.

Dropping in at the top.  I helped with a lot of

work here, placing and supporting the log

and cutting in the trail.

Hitting the new berm at the bottom.

It was a great afternoon of work, a lot was accomplished.  I look forward to helping out more in the future.  Daniel would probably like to come out and play in the dirt too!
