I rode the trail again this morning. I lopped some branches that I missed last week and I cleared a new section as well. After lunch I did some work trying level a few sections at the beginning.
After 2 weeks of work, Im not exactly happy with how far the trail has come. The rock garden blocking me from continuing has really slowed things down. Im disappointed that I wont be able to complete the trail fully. Even though I don't think I'll reach my main goal, I can still make the beginning part as good as I can. Next week will be all about finishing touches on what I've already done.
I was very tired from a long weekend of hard racing and crashing, so I took it easy today. I started a bit later since the cycling season ended and I could stay out later into the day. I made the final touches to the trail by brushing off all debris and making it look nice.
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
