Get out and ride some new trails

The trails at The Lakes were in near mint condition yesterday. Over the last year YAMBA has constructed three new sections of trail at The Lakes. These are trail 2C, a reroute of Trail 4, and the recently finished reroute/extension of Trail 1. Each of these new trails are in great condition. Trail 4 is finally dry and bedded in, and the berm rips! Trail 1 is bedding in quite nicely this soon after being fininshed and has a good flow already. The forecast rain has held off, so the trails should be open through the whole long weekend hopefully, as long as Saturday mornings showers are light. Check out the new trails, have fun, and keep the rubber side down.

Tea Kettle Trail

Today was the second workday on Tea Kettle at Spring Valley County Park. Tea Kettle will eventually run from Line Rd, near the bridge over the creek, to the current Trail 1 near Ridge Rd. Tea Kettle can currently be found by climbing Trail 1 from the trailhead at Line Rd and Park St.

Dick Mansberger, Alyssa Mease, Larry Schlaline, Lindsay Tobias, and Susan Moury joined me in extending last weeks work further up the hill to the ridge line. We were able to get a lot of work completed considering the small size of our crew. Thanks for coming out guys and gals.

Dick and Larry did an awesome job with the rock work on the hi/low section
