Part of my job at school is teaching kids how to mountain bike. Yes, it is fun and yes it is scarey! Middle school kids have minds of their own and when you let them loose on a bike you never know what could happen. Put those same kids on a singletrack trail in the woods and safety must become prioity #1 from the teacher stand point. When Dave C. and I built the trail two years ago we thought the kids would like it and we would have a place "close" to work to ride singletrack. The kids love it and it is nice having sweet singletrack at work! The part of "the trail" that I never expected to love is the maintance and building of new trail. It is just so rewarding to create a new section of trail that really flows and works well. The following pictures are my latest work to re-route and create a safer riding trail.
