I met up with Nick/nickbucc this morning at CRPT for his 1st ride on a MTB trail. He drank all the
kool ~ aid. We did both CRPT and RB, not only did he do a 20mi ride for his 1st ride. He rode
and cleaned all the features at both places :shock: :icon_thumleft: , except the skinnies at CRPT. Which
im sure he will be riding in no time. Awesome job nick! Im pretty sure he's hooked every time I checked on
him he had a big ole grin on his face.

Here he is just landing the 2 Footer. With style too.

Rode last night, trail was in great shape... I thought the rain would have left some greasy spots, but it was already dried up...

Trail is riding quite fast at this time. Sticky fast.

Trail has a down tree blocking two sections. From 53 towards Edison, after the straightaway left turn past the little bridge. Going to need a chainsaw for this one. You can slow down and ride under, but looks real sketchy.

If u need a hand removing it let me know.

Is this between Jaycee park and Farmstead park? If so closer to which one.

It's quite a ways past Farmstead, quickest access would be from the dpw lot.

If you look at the recent trail map, it is right across from emergency marker 13.

Now I know where you are talking about. The bridge that was moved this spring, once we finished
the new reroute. Thanks, I should be able to get to this week sometime.

I cut out the deadfall that was blocking the trail in the two spots. It wasn't much fun to say
the least. I ran out of time this morning and didn't get a chance to rake the area, so it's a bit
of a mess still. I will get out in the next couple of days to rake up the debris.

I know this goes with out saying... but CRPT is CLOSED due to flooding. It will not be rideable
for at least 3-4 days. These picks were from early this morning and the river had not even crested
yet :shock: :( .
