Jordan Reroute

Looking for a little help from anyone interested to help flag a short re-route at Jordan

In October, the newly formed Pennsylvania Interscholastic Cycling League (a chapter of the the national high school mtb league, NICA) will hold a race at Jordan. We expect several hundred students from 25-30 schools from across the state to attend (some led by VMB members).

To meet the NICA standards, we need to do some small trail improvements, including a short reroute where the trail exits the parK briefly near the condos in the northwest corner. The section of existing trail is to steep and technical (many of the kids riding will only have ridden a mountain bike 6 to 8 times in their life before the race, and we need to make sure the course is safe and fun for them). We've been asked to create something more contoured, which should also be pretty sweet for all other mountain bike users.

We have permission from the county to do this, and the goal it to flag something in July and get final approval from the land manager. Any construction should ideally be done in a day or weekend, depending on how many volunteers we get.

If you're interested, let me know and we'll find a day convenient to everyone.
