Trail Work

Not much training the last two days just a lot of trail work. The ice storm that came through a month ago really did a number on our local trails and many are still not open. I took the dogs out on Saturday to Sequoyah. About 5 hours of solo trail work had me bushed, not to mention I was using only a hand saw. I wish I had brought my camera along as the snow was falling and would have been great for some b/w photos. The pics below are from the previous weekend on Sequoyah trails.

Today was another 5 hours of trail work with a few friends on a local trail. Really overwhelmed with all the trail work that needs to be done. If you count four people putting in 5 hrs that equals 20hours of trail work. In that twenty hours we cleaned a 1.5 mile stretch of trail. At that rate it will take another 120 hours of work to get just this one trail cleaned and ready to ride. That's just a guesstimate, it will probably take longer for the sections further down the hill.
This is just one trail of many that received serious damage. If you live in NWA and like to ride and run on trails, get out and volunteer some time. I know trail work isn't much fun, but the payoff is well worth it

The dogs thought it was great fun to run on, over, and under the downed limbs


There's a trail under that pile of limbs, somewhere
