CRAMBA: Bloomer

[kyleRIG29er]

Good morning everyone..... It's brings great pains for me to say these words..... ... The Bloomer builders have decided to step down as trail coordinators .....At this current time our hearts aren't into it...... Recent recent medical exams has brought tragic and possibly life threatening news to our group........ the disease has spread extensively, but was caught in it's early stages ..........Thank GOD........The Doctor's have assured us that obesity is curable with extensive treatment and exercise..... So until we are 100% cured and our bike clothes fit again, we will put our tools away......Clean off the cob webs and dust from our bikes.... and ride.......If you see us piled up on the trail covered in dirt.....It''s not because we were riding to fast....Rather...... we probly forgot how to unclipped ....Hope to see you all soon at a trail near you..

Hahahahahaa, you guys have done a ton to get a good loop established. You deserve to ride it! I'm going out tomorrow with the gf, probalby do one big lap, and I have laid out a mini lap using the new stuff off the river trail, which allows her to get more comfortable, and me to haul butt and just catch her every couple laps, (It's only probably a mile.) Hope to see you out there!

We are just taking a break.......the post was ment to be funny......A way of saying we are taking a break from trail work now that the loop has been finished.....We will still be the TC's of Bloomer.....Still being doing some work on the trails this summer....But most of our time for the next few months will be spent traveling and riding......And working on improving my postings...

Rode here last night, and it was great! Trail is in good condition and there are wildflowers blooming everywhere. It's worth a ride just for the scenery right now.
This is the second time I've ridden Bloomer since the signage was completed, and it makes a HUGE difference. There were still a couple slightly confusing spots on my first time through, but this time I was able to blow right through without a second thought. So much more fun than the confused map consulting I used to have to do at every intersection.
Great work on the signs and the newly cut trail sections down by the river.

Used to ride here a bit in the early - mid 2000's... the new trail sections are wearing in gaining flow and adds a nice diversion to the techie western sections which make me want my flat pedals.

Its cool to ride a new section that is still only 10 -14 inches wide... rather than 3 to 4 ft

Someone(s) poured some hours into this trail - great work and many thanks, I'll be back often this summer ..

Rode again last night, trails was in great shape. The added berm is awesome! Glad this trail is getting better and better every week!

Here is a little video I made up of Bloomer Park, as I do a lap currently. It's 2x speed, and Youtube's stabilization is a bit janky, so I may try to improve it and re-upload.

pretty sweet video.....Thanks for posting it up

Is there an updated map of the trail? I started watching the video and I'm not even sure where you started!

If you start the video at about 4:40, that's the parking lot most people start at.

Heads up! There's a tree suspended across the trail at head level just past the wood bridge/planks on the way to the Enchanted Forest/River Trail.

The dirt was good only one or two wet corners this morning, last nights storm was all blow no soak. A few trees down, and debris everywhere plus a lot of low hanging stuff. A couple fo the trees sneak up on you so watch out.

berms seem to be sprouting like mushrooms!

thanks for the marked loop again, I just made some connections based on the loop and now have some better ideas where to get to some places on the 2track to cut to some sections.
