The next phase

Thanks to everyone that came out for the first trail day.
With over 25 volunteers showing up we now know the interest is there. I'm off on a tour of some trails in New England so the next trail day will be on Nov.13. We will meet at the same place at 11am and work to 3 or 4. I want to let people know early to avoid any conflict, I know a lot more people wanted to be there yesterday but had made other commitments. Hopefully those people will be able to make the next big build.
For The next trail day I hope to tackle too of the most challenging parts of the loop. When done they will likely be a great example of   trail construction.
I have built similar sections  on many downhill race tracks so the engineering is already sorted.
Here are some photo to give everyone a idea of what we plan for the bench section.
This illustration shows the basic concept of a bench trail.

These pictures are good examples of A bench.


The trial will travel under A rock outcropping much like this one.
Hope to see everyone out for the 13th.
