Firelane 5 Work Day

On Saturday about 10 of us worked with Marenda from AmeriCorps on Firelane 5.  We spent about 3 hours reworking the area just before FL 5 meets up with Wildwood.  The problem was two fold, massive water erosion and high bike speeds leading up to that intersection.  We added some singletrack up there, which is a lot more fun to ride than simply continuing to bomb down a gravel road prior to meeting up with WW.  We then did a few alterations on the trail, and fixed the rutting that was happening in a lot of places.  The trail has actually held up really well since we built it over a year ago.  We also cut back some brambles and branches.  It is in great shape, but could still a little bit of work in a few sections.  I think we turned an already fun little descent into something even better.  Check it out!
