Where old meets new on Lookout Mountain

Lookout Mountain has been the site of thousands of trail work hours in the past few years. This past Sunday some of the SBC crew jumped on with the Coalition's trail work day to finish up the latest new section on trail and close out the trail building season.  The challenge of this work day was how to seemlessly tie in the iconic rock drop off into the new peice of trail.  We think that has been solved! 

Old to the right, new to the left with Collin, Tim & Lindsey.

The angle of departure from the rock drop off has been tweak by a few degrees, this done by one hell of a rock crib wall. Next time you are out there stop and take a look at what is supporting your take off, it took a lot of back breaking lifting by the crew (Tim r, Paul J, Owen J, Ben M, Lindsdy C, Micheal W, Andrew D, Thomas J, Mark, Collin W. ) and help from the Coalitions Grib Hoist. These types of trail builds will out live all of us who help cut this section into the rocky mountain!

Owen Johnston, has trail rock work in his blood.

Giro d'Ville 2012

If you don't know what foof is, don't look on urbandictionary.com, go to google maps and search Charlottesville.  However, either way you look at it, you're right.  This weekend, Harrisonburg's brave mountain warriors will be holding it down in Montebello, fighting the foof.  Reputations are at stake.

Giro d'Ville is a multi-day mountain bike stage race for gnarly rival locals and their respective cycling communities.

Tim says "We put the F U in FUN."
