New and Improved Merrit Trail

totally revamped general ed trail from the top, with nicer berms, jumps and drops

 You are heading down Ajax. The actual entrance is supposed to be behind the radio antenna fence feeding into berms to be and a jump line that remains to be built leading to the first big jump on the Ajax "straight line run". Ajax is the main feed from the college down to the "bunker"..

At the "bunker" the trails split with unfinished "Borox" semi hidden in the woods to the left and Ajax running right through the bunker drop, jumps and berms "channel" til it climbs up a little for the next part. You can see the log pile jump to be that will be the connector between the two eventually (leading from Ajax to the first "S" berms of Borox before the crazy tree drop).

Borox runs parallel and meets up with Clearex near the end (the suicide step up into the steep meetup with Ajax before the "washout ending".

I was building up this trail mostly on my own (with a little help from Yohyatt and some others), but nobody else wanted to help us at the time (two years ago).Then I got hit and run'd by a car on my way to do work on the trail the Xmas b4 last (100's from the lower exit). I haven't been able to ride for a year since or dig (healing up...almost impaled on my bike with major concussion).

I am happy to see you all enjoying the trails (and doing some work too!).

jerky (the digger) will be back soon...keep an eye out for major improvements coming after next winter! or you might see me back on the magic trails...doing the "eastside weatside night run" or playing around JMP/Dimond and the other secret trails in the east bay hills.

Be nice to the neighbors! Respect the hikers and dog walkers and they will let us keep coexisting in trail harmony, unlike other areas that get blown out.

Everyone needs to pitch in to maintain this trail that overgrows super fast (beware the insane poison everything around the trail system...I was covered almost head to toe after clearing the trail to even be hiked b4 digging!).

Enjoy!
