The great stumps project!

Stump under load...move Damit!

This past Saturday was the beginning of the Fall Trail Work Series.  The Fall Trail Work Series has going on since the beginning of the Fall Six Pack Series, 20 years ago.   We left Mr's J's at 9am and drove in the dry rocky approach to the bottom of the Lynn Trail. Big Red was  loaded down with an assortment of tools to help with what was going to become a great day on the mountain.  The gray hairs came out and did some of the best work I have seen in a while, I would say the average age for the crew was at least 55!  Marshall ended up a little beat up after the the morning work, the fight he pick with a yellow jacket hive ended giving him more stings then you could count on two hands. Carol and Melba where rock starts cutting back the growth that has taken over so many of our trails this summer. Frank and Tim Cook never gave up after many of us wood, a 34" oak trail is not easy thing to move!

This coming Saturday trail work will continue on the Lynn Trail, come out and help fix the tread where the 3 great stumps had previous layed. You can meet at Mr J's (Route 42 South) at 9am or at the bottom of the Lynn Trail at 9:30. Come out and help get the trails ready for all the great fall riding.  The fall trail work days are the mountain bike community's best opportunity to give back to the George Washington National Forest.

After a big crash...stump out of the trail!
