hopkins lake trail

hey owosso bob,how are the trails at hopkins?good and dry?i heard you worked your tail off all spring working on the trails again!

[owosso bob]

The trails are in pretty good shape except the big bowl that takes for ever to dry out . It is hard to keep the face slappers trimmed back this time of year . I took a nasty fall over at the dirt jumps a couple of weeks ago and have not been doing as much work on the trail as I would like . The kids have really got the dirt jump course in great shape I was watching some kids from Grand Rapids that drove all the way over to ride them and man could they fly . If you get a chance come and ride Hopkins . It is not marked so you have to make up your own loops . If you are coming to ride it stop at the bike shop and they have a map of the layout or call me .

didn't john tomac train on those trails when he was young?

[owosso bob]

Yes he did . There was a lot of good BMX riders in our area back then and they did well state wide and John just kept on into Mtb racing and did well . Sorry about not replying quicker but have been doing the grandfather thing the last few days .
