By Corporal Punishment on 1/29/2007 on Corporal Punishment's blog Have you ever meant to do something good, but just never found the time to do it? That's the way I've always felt about trailbuilding and repairs. Well, this last weekend, Sarge and I went up with two guys from SOMBA to get some first hand training about trail maintanence. Let me tell you if you haven't been out working on the trails, you are actually missing out on a big part of mountain biking. We worked hard, got alot acomplished, and had some good times as well. It is truly an experience that, quite frankly, you have to experience yourself. We shared some good stories, traded secret trailrides, and spoke of grand adventures both past and future. We ran into a group of other trailbuilders that were just as excited as we were. In total, we cleared up about five miles worth of trail. We started about 11:00 and finished up about 4:00. Then the fun we had of riding the trail back that we just repaired. |

Doing the Right Thing
Trail building in Boulder County
 Whenever there's new trail to ride in Boulder County (Colorado), that's a big deal. In this mountain bike unfriendly county -- compared to other neighboring counties where more trails are open to MTBers -- things are starting to loosen up a bit, in large part due to the lobbying efforts of the Boulder Mountainbike Alliance. This photo was taken yesterday at a volunteer trail-building event at Heil Valley Ranch, where we were building a new loop to be called the Wild Turkey Trail. |
