Wow. ok.. know that spot well... on another note was anyone out (4/4/12) Wednesday night around 6:30-8:30? There were some people filming a movie or something on rollercoaster? Just wondering if they have posted any of the shots or what it was for?

Is this in the Back Nine or the Rollercoaster (most tend to define them separately)?

The Back Nine, which is the last subsection of The Roller Coaster.

There are differing opinions on that. I've always considered it to be 3 segments. Roller Coaster has two parts. The Front Half, and the Back Half (separated by the bypass), and then the Back Nine.

Oh. Hmm.

I kinda want to make a map with all the colloquial names. Maybe if I get around to doing up a CRAMBA map of Stony...

Rode the 11 mile loop today with my new bike and gps computer. Small puddles, nothing that wasn't easy to avoid. Didn't find any other trail issues. Good ride overall. Glad the weather broke long enough to get out there. The slight dampness made for an easier time in the normally loose points. Nice and quiet too since rain scared most everyone off.

Would LOVE this. Would have been particularly helpful when I first started riding Stony. :-)

I made a map just like this when I first rode stony as well and sent it to the T.C. of that time. I wonder if its still around.

Will there be a Di-Pass added to the trail on next saturday's trail day?
I hear the Tree Farm Di-Pass is very popular.

There was a tree down in the beginning of the Roller Coaster, just around a turn that is just past the mini rock path. I'm sure it's gone now, but no one posted. Took a pic, but don't know how to upload the bugger.

It was still there a couple of hours ago.
It will just take 3 or 4 willing tree-huggers to drag it off the trail.
If it is still there by Sunday, we'll take care of it during the trailday.
