5/11

Today I moved a few dead logs off the trail. I've been raking what I've built so far to keep it open and make the dirt more packable.

Trail Planning Day 1

  My Senior Project is based around building a trail in Proctor's woodlands, that can contribute to the many amazing trails we already have. I am building it specifically to be a fun but challenging mountain bike trail, that beginners can get through and advanced riders can have a lot of fun on. I started my day off with a little hike behind the tennis courts to check out a few spots for the trail that my Mentor (Josh Norris) and I had talked about earlier. I walked a few possible routes and came upon a few overgrown trails that could be revived into really nice trails. I met with Josh and we talked about what he had in mind and how that could work with what I found earlier in the woods. We came up with a game plan to check on a few ideas and get building within the next few days. 4.5 hours

I will have pictures in one of the next blogs when I begin raking. 5 hours
