Look'n goooooooood !
If Jay could have got his hands on a Ditch Witch 650 with a 6 way hydrolic blade he could have put some awesome berms into that great layout but that Toro Dingo made up for the lack of volunteers in a big way.

That is INCREDIBLE the park is allowing the use of machinery for trail building/maintenance!!! You can a move a small mountains worth of dirt and sculpt it into a respectable trail in a few days time with one of those babies!! I plan on renting one for a weekend to speed up my backyard dirt jump project

Looking forward to getting out and riding Murray Lake and Torn shirt sometime this week. I haven't ridden torn shirt since high school but from what I have heard, it's only gotten more gnarly and tech since then. Challenge accepted

On average, how long does it take most riders ride Murray Lake? And Torn Shirt?

Thanks!!

I would say I'm an average rider and before the reroute on Torn Shirt, it took me ~40 minutes. Not sure how long Murray Lake loops took me.

I'm an average rider in my 40s. I can do both with the lost loop in 1:40

Thanks for the replies! I'll be finding out how long it takes to ride Murray Lake tonight at a moderate pace. My 60 y/o dad wants to ride with me, so that's the reason for the pace

I'm going to take that as you normally ride at a slower pace and are going to have to keep up to your dad

All of the recent re-routes are fantastic!!! Really enjoyed this favorite trail even more.....thanks to those that participated in the trail days to do this!! I'll hopefully be back to assisting with trailbuilding soon.

Well, Murray Lake was just as fun as I remember it being.. actually, it was even better!

Cannot wait to link it with torn shirt

Well done to all of the builders!

Completed a loop of Torn Shirt on Thursday -the new reroute is packing down nicely - trail is in great shape and the dirt rode to the state park has been plowed so it's no longer a washboard
Also found a patch of Poison Ivy the hard way on the side of the trail LOL

Great ride at Brighton last night. Huge work on the TS re-route. My computer says its about 1/4 mile longer. Nice job! A couple of the climbs are starting to dry out and get loose. Murray seemed perfect. No trees down. Finished under the lights. Great conditions for it.
