TRAIL ARCHIVES ~ Trail Maintenance - 2007

Lynn Woods Trail Maintenance Day # 1 - Sponsored by JRA Cycles -

Project # LYW042807

Date: 04.28.2007

With the help of the local biking community, Dieselbikes was able to complete 100% of our first trail day in Lynn Woods.  This was a huge project and we completed our main goal to cut and define the trail thread.

All 19 trail volunteers work hard to complete this 1200+ foot trail section in record time.  During the early morning hours the weather looked questionable, but that did not dampen the work spirit of the volunteers.  This new "Power Line Trail" connects from the beginning of "Sharks Tooth Trail" near route 1 North and runs up hill towards "Deep Woods Trail" about 400 feet inside the property line of Lynn Woods.  The work completed this past Saturday is just phase one of the new "Power Line Trail".  Phase two trail work is scheduled on June 24th which will complete the full path of the "Power Line Trail" totaling an estimated length of 2000+ feet.

This trail has FLOW….yes I said it….FLOW!  The ideal direction of travel for this trail is to ride from "Deep Woods Trail" and head towards "Sharks Tooth Trail" near Route 1.  Riding in this direction you will fine tons of natural technical trail features.  As usual, the trail was design to utilize as much natural rock as possible.  This trail features a few rock armored paths, a 10 foot stone walkway to cross a wet area and tons of twist/turns that will make you feel like you are riding a slalom course.

Since the trail is new, that means it is soft, we ask everyone to ride this new section so that the process of packing the soil naturally will occur.  Dieselbikes will continue to monitor this section for the next few months making any adjustment if required.  Furthermore, we ask all riders who are using this trail not to move or use any rocks found on the sides of the trail.  These rocks are there for a reason and will be utilized for additional trail armoring in key areas.  If you do not know where this trail is, find someone who does.

I want to extend my personal thanks to each individual (listed below) that helped complete this project.  Some volunteers arrived mid morning and had to leave early, so we did not get their names, but still want to say thanks.  This was a large scale project and everyone worked there ASSES off!  I look forward to see everyone again in future trail builds and/or maintenance projects.
