New tools!

Not sure why it took us so long, but I finally got us (Friends of Pocahontas) some new singletrack building tools. Since we don’t have the luxury (or need) of mechanized trail-building here, we really needed some sturdy and high-quality tools.

Picked these up online at ZacTools…one each of fiberglass handled Pulaski and Mcleod. Coming to a trail-work day near you!!











I'll try to start documenting more of our trail work...something I've been bad about. Most of the time my trailwork is sorta like a covert operation, sneaking in between a ride, but we will be starting up some more organized work days to complete the changes on the red and double red trails.
BTW, Is it ever going to stop raining!!!!

last night ride of the year...

last night ride of the year at Pocahontas last Friday.....only 5 riders showed. We rode the Lakeviews backwards....only a few greasy spots in low areas except for one 25' section of trail on LV1.

For the trails sake we should give it some more dry time, especially after all the rain we got yesterday again....now it's into the dreaded freeze/thaw cycle. Uh! I hate Winter.

tired of the rain!!!


WTF is up with all this rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Night ride for Friday night looks to be a soggy disaster :(






I did get a chance to put some new tires on Lydia's bike since she's been skidding a hole in her back tire. Picked up some new meats for her bike from Carytown Bike Co a few weeks back....12" knobbies baby!
Also realized that Lydia is pretty gnar in that she is also a single-speeder! check out those track ends!






Mimi was helping...not.
