3 Hour Flow Ride






Charlie this is what you missed! I wish I could put into words how great it is to ride White Clay. The pictures only do it some justice.

Green




Some of the memories of my childhood that I love the most are when my parents would take me to Green Lane Park. I remember the drive up and the drive over an old metal bridge when we got there. Throwing and skimming rocks was also a favorite adventure at the park. There are also big boulders that are located in the shallow, fast flowing waters. My brother and I used to climb from rock to rock to see how far out in the water we could get.
Now I hope I am creating those same great memories for my kids at Valley Green. Over the past two years we have spent hours exploring, riding, throwing, skimming, and climbing. I look forward to creating many memories in the future.
The Greens are both special places to me. Thanks mom and dad for showing me how parenting is supposed to be done. I only hope Luke and Meg love their Green time as much as I did! They look like they are having FUN!

14 Hour Day






What a day! We took out the wall between the garage and the family room to create a larger area and a mud room. The day started well. We went through the wall with no major problems. Cleaned that up and we were on to the framing. With one wall framed we moved to the wall with an old door that we would have to make wider. This would mean cutting the cinder block wall. Lets just say that is HARD work! Very dirty work as well! We had a good day and will hit it hard on Sunday! Check out the pic's!

Fresh Dirt Pics



These pics go with the previous post. This is the new trail!

Fresh Dirt 1

Dave C. and I built about a mile and a half of sweet singletrack on the property around the Hollow (our school) two years ago. Thanks Glenn for your help! I had never built a trail before and never realized how much work it is to build and maintain. The trail has been one of the best things I have done at school. The students love it and I have sweet singletrack to ride when pinched for time. This year new trail will be added. Some of the trail will be to made to provide a safer ride for thr students, and some will be added to make it more fun for me to ride! Monday was the first time this year I got out in the morning to do some real trail work. I created a new section to one of the climbs. The new section is only about 200 yards long but, it adds a nice switchback to the climb. This does two things. First, the climb will be a little easier for the students. Second, it makes the climb slightly longer and more fun for me!
