I'll probably take a rake up for a walk when I got time at some point.


Thank you. Let us know if there are trees down or any major maintenance.

I'd say most likely next Sunday is the earliest I can get there, but if there are trees down, I got my trusty lil Stihl that fits nicely in my backpack that'll fix those pesky problems... I've actually never been to Noble before, but stoked to see it.

Shuttle day in a couple of weeks, ill keep you posted. i will most likely be out sunday also but on a different trail. your welcome to help with that one also.

I’m going to try and get out there this week to give the trails a full walk. Like I said I know both are being ridden already but not sure if they are perfectly clear.

You know that Poacher video was filmed last year right? No way it's clear right now that good.

You know that Hollywood videos are filmed like a year or 2 before release right...? Dont get all caught up in the magic bro, this life ain't live.

Went for a hike today in No-Bulls.
Baconator is all clear with zero trees down. Very surprised as there’s usually a few down over the winter. Only a couple of low hangers that can be ridden under however they really should be cut out for safety eventually. The trees are in the usual blowdown area. I’m without chainsaw right now so if someone wants to volunteer have at her.
Also the switchbacks to the wooden bridge side exit are in good shape. However the route in could use a brush back/widening. Easy job.

That said it’s not all good news. Our motorized friends decided to pull apart the drop right at the end of the final switch back section. They have been hauling ass up the switchbacks and have rutted out the very top so deep your cranks would probably bottom out if you tried to ride the rut. Nothing that can’t be fixed by a small crew and some picks but it might be time to put a drop right at the top of the switchbacks. Also one up where that rotten skinny is too. Make it more difficult so they just look for an easier way up elsewhere.

I didn’t have enough time to get all the way up SoS. I’ll try to later this week.
