If you like Freedom now; you are going to love it next springSmile We are working with the park manager to build a Freeride skills area with an additional 15 or so obstacles all in one area, and they are going to contract out a pump track in the same spot. All just down the road from the grass field. Plus we have a few more obstacles that might be put in. Maybe a little taller drop to keep our progression upSmile

Best way to know about the building days that we have open to anyone is to check out the EVMA sight on CCVA. Most likely the days that the trail captain needs help will be posted up there.

Awesome to hear that people are having fun with the trail. Makes us want to build more, can't wait to see what this winter brings when we have it complete. Drop by the James City County Parks website if you ever get the chance and put a thank you to them for letting us build.

Will do, my whole group of riding buddies have Freedom at the ranked at the top of their list of favorite trails, so you guys are doing a good job! Hoping to get up there during Thanksgiving break a couple times.

If anyone lives near Fountainhead and hasn't been there since the trail has been updated, definitely check it out. Lots of berms, some jumps and a new skinny area. For regular trail riding it stomps any other local trail.

Any body live in Southern VA? I'll be in Mount Airy(Northern NC, within spitting distance of the border). What's good in that area? I've got Dry spikes on the bike right now, what do you guys run tire wise?
cheers

Has anyone ridden Poor Farm Park lately? Looks like someone's been doing some maintenance out there, Hanover County doesn't maintain them anymore.

I live about a mile away from poor farm and rode it over my winter break.....some local riders get together and do some trail maintenance every once in a while.
