EJ’s Update - Teton Pass 7/25/10

Randy Roberts and Tom Kholhart were busy yesterday picking out rocks and smoothing out the lower section of the Ridge Trial and Phillips Canyon Trail after the bridges. Thanks for smoothing out this section. I’ve seen it knock down several riders in the past. This section of trail will now be much more user-friendly for our beginner-intermediates.

I forgot to mention the Inner City Youth group in last weeks report. This group of roughly thirty inner city girls dug for several hours on the lower volunteer section of the Ridge Trail. I wouldn’t really say that most of them enjoyed digging in the dirt, but it was a good experience for them. Randy led a educational part of the volunteer project and let the girls ride a mountain bike. The girls loved this, and were almost fighting over the bike by the end. Several of the girls had never ridden a mountain bike before. This was a great idea of Randy’s ,and we plan to include more education with our volunteer groups.

I also received report that the Fuzzy Bunny Trail is almost competed. Harlan and his crew have been working very hard this early summer on this new trail construction. The “Phase One” hand dig is now complete. “Phase Two” will include some machine digging with a mini excavator on the lower Fuzzy Bunny trail in a wicked brushy and sidehilled section. Harlan and crew will also be busy the rest of the summer reworking the Powerline Jumps with a machine and constructing the Candyland Trail which will connect Jimmy’s Mom and the Parallel Trail. Harlan’s crew and the Freedom Riders are also having a huge summer of trail construction.
Mike Piker has also been busy this last couple of weeks clearing line of sight on our trials. He especially focused on the Nelson Drive section of the Putt-Putt where we were starting to have a few user conflicts and blind spots. Mike also worked with Jim Verdone and his backhoe to clean up several gravel sections of the Old Pass Road. Mike also swept the entire Old Pass Road with pathways new Sthil paddle broom. The Old Pass Road is now much safer for road bikers. Thanks Mike and thanks Jim.

Have a nice week.
