You may see some activity on the trails in the next week or so as we prepare for our upcoming events. Just so everyone is clear, I figured I'd detail what we are doing.
Pump Track - Anyone that has ridden BC in the last 2 weeks would have noticed a cleared area on trail 1 at the beginning of the trail system. This will be the future home of our pump track. Our excavator will most likely start moving some dirt around in this area starting Monday. This will mean a slight re-route of trail 1. The area is taped off and marked but I just wanted everyone to be aware what's going on. Once the dirt has been moved, we will need some help shaping the track. I will post when that will be.
Downhill Trail - We are cutting about 50' of trail that will connect the top of the 3rd level of the mining road where trail 1 meets 2 to the first level of the mining road right at the short cut. The intent of this trail is for a nice downhill flow if you were riding the trail counter-clockwise. This will mist likely tie into our Super D sereis. This is not on the map but will be identified by 'shortcut' signs.
New/Old Trail - We are completing a trail that was started several years ago. This new trail will be part of the race course but will not be indentified on this years trail map nor will it have a number associated with it this year. The trail can be found on trail 1 just before you get to the top of the downhill and switch backs. The trail will make a hard right and snake around in the woods for a bit and will then dump you back onto the double wide trail 3 just below trail 5. For the race, you will follow 1, pick up the new trail back to trail 3 and then onto trail 5 back to trail 1. This is 80% complete and should be 100% complete this week.
