Trailwork



At the end of first year trips last fall, I had a vision for the rest of the "skillz" course on Oak Hill. I wanted to make a run that would be short, so one could do many laps, and fun for beginner riders as well as experienced riders. The only catch was that the design I had in mind needed a mini excavator and a qualified operator. This project stood at a standstill for most of fall, until I had an idea - recruit an alum with enough experience to satisfy risk management. I did so, and in one day we took in tampers, shovels and an excavator and turned a stretch of Oak Hill woods into a sequence of burmed turns and jumps -- yeehaw!
