Marie, Stefan and I put some of the skills we learned at the IMBA class to work on Friday. We did a re-route on the super sandy section of Stinky Creek that goes to the lake.
Seems like the turns were too tight and banking occured which caused the water to run down the trail pooling a big pile of sand at the bottom. We eased the turn and got rid of the bank, then re-reouted around the piled up sand.
We'll see if our new skills worked or not soon as it rained a good bit last night.
Also, ECC finally came through on the bulletin board project for the paved side! We wanted to put on up to announce trail maintenance, rides, and to post a list of trail riding rules. I took a look after I finished the ride yesterday. Looks like they did a great job!
