Reid, got a new project for you...actually seriously I have to show you something next time...very easy to do, and about quarter mile in from burch p-lot.
bring your chain saw and your chisel...I will build the entrance ramp. This will actually be pretty ride-able, if you know what i mean... :wink: :wink:

Is that the Riverbend lot ... or the main Burchfield lot by the toboggan runs?

Slow down, buddy - we need to get approval before we go all bandit in there!!!! :shock:

I've been looking at something new as well, I may have to sweet-talk Jeff to get approval on it, though :D

Im hoping to ride here early Sat. morning, I've never ridden here before. Wondering if any regulars were planning to be out then that I could follow around? I've heard it can be a little confusing for a first timer. My plan is to ride here first then head to Anderson which I have ridden a couple times.

I'll probably be at burchfield around 10am Sat morning.

Rode today on my new bike little out of shape for having 2 or 3 weeks off. It was a bit muggy out there today with some buggage. Trails could use some rain tonight.

Before the full day of rain, trail was in great shape. Hard pack and fast. May want to give it a day to dry out before riding it.

The poison ivy is doing SUPER this year. If you're allergic to the stuff, use ivy block before riding or at least tecnu cleanser after.
