Topic: Downed trees all over Boyette

[StonePony]

No surprise after the storm Sunday night, but there are a lot of trees down at Boyette.  This report is from late yesterday.
- Lower Spider Berm;  probably 4 or 5 where you've got to walk over/around
- Upper Spider Berm;  a couple but if I recall these were able to be ridden over
- Golf Cart; 3 or 4 that you have to dismount to get past
- 1 large one on SST (i think)


I cleared a bunch of branches/brush/etc during the ride, but there's a ton more that'll need to be cleared.  I did not have time to ride Ridgeline and the far back trails though, so not sure what they look like, although I'd imagine more of the same.

I will take log pyramids instead of clearing it

Yah, I like a few of those structures myself, but they aren't a real popular item over at Boyette are they.

Whats up SP? where you been hiding at lately? Need to get back and ride some. We are still hitting up Croom every now and again and will be at Boyette tomomorrow PM

If anyone is going out during the week to help clear some of the mess I'd be happy to help.

As far as the log pyramids go I think they're fine so long as they're well built and located in an appropriate chunk of trail with a difficulty that is appropriate for the trail it is on. The problem I see is a lot of the improvised ones have a tendency to shift and move.

"Domestic issues" Dan-o.  You know...the worlds #1 happiness and life force drainer...


Seriously though, yeah- I can't do it tonight but might be able to sneak out on Friday afternoon for a ride at Alafia or Boyette if you're up for it.  Croom sounds great as well sometime soon....miss that place.

Just went out there today and cleared a lot of downed limbs on the palmetto trail. most of the other trails that i rode were in great shape. With the exception of a lot of Sugar sand. we really need a good soaking. Ohh by the way found 3 soda cans on the main road to the trails. C-mon people Keep it Clean

JJ , The cans must have blown out of the care takers truck.. I don't see to many Mountain bikers tugging on soda out on the on the trail..
