XC trail building at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park - starting next phase!

Hope to see you out there!  right now there's 0 volunteers - and I'm happy to dig all alone - if I have to... but more gets done when there's at least one other person helping dig.   Please RSVP if you plan to come!

There's only couple more build days scheduled in November!  If you can't make it to this next weekend - November 8th - then there's one more later in month.   Additional build days will be weather dependent (i.e. depending on number of people who RSVP).

Focus (for most all future build days) is on whole new section of trail starting from the south end of the park (up until now all the XC trail we've been building has been up in north part of park).   It's all on the east side of the park in the mountain biking only area.   

This next build day we'll be getting started on that south section and building from south to north where we'll eventually link into the north loop which is in place.

Think yesterday when out there putting the pin flags in place along the new section with John Joy... his eyes were opened to the fact there's LOTS of dirt singletrack in the main part of the park to be enjoyed too!  We rode Widow Maker from Welcome Center to Hares Canyon and then down to Fellings Wedge... where we ditched the bikes in the woods and hiked/bush whacked for couple miles.   Terrain scouting is the funnest part of trail building!   found more than a few potential lines (kept things focused to the next phase though - we'll be building more or less along the lower to stay closer to creek).

It's exciting we'll be starting on this new section, and we'll be digging this trail for the next couple years to link in to the upper loop.  then there's other possibilities - like building a rim trail or other opportunities.

All of this is separate from the project which is moving forward to build the freeride trails - which are an expansion to the north loop - that Westside Trail Federation is spearheading.
