Heh, how funny- I was going to head off to UWF to do some bike club related stuff on Saturday, probably no TM, but still. Rode the trail a few days ago and really liked it; the new section is good stuff. Any further extensions in the works?

the green section is what you rode. i'm working on the section that parallels redrock road for now. i hope to get it done before it gets to be too hot.
70
once that section is done then i'll have maybe 4 miles.

did you ride the log skinny i built?

Log skinny? You mean the bridge across the little gully, or something else? I think that I rode pretty much everything on the trail...

I like the look of the planned extension; I'll keep an eye on the forums and see if I can get out and help you one of these weekends.

if you rode counter clockwise, the log skinny would be close to the end of the trail. going clockwise it's easy to miss.

I rode counterclockwise, but I must have missed it. I have a bad habit of going too fast and suddenly losing the trail, since its not really that well defined yet in some areas. Funny thing is, the first time that I ever rode the new section was at night with a couple of DIY lights that I have... that was a good time right there. Talk about blundering about. :D
