last nights ride.. I felt rusty on some of my skills... although one of the sections was pretty rough also... I have more trail work to do.. but also It is pretty normal each season to need a little time.

I meant to ask when you mentioned the bench cutting before, but forgot. How much did you have to cut in on the high side of the trail??


hmm maybe 6" or so.. we will see how that works. I think it will be level enough [still want a slight outslope] It just might not be wide enough... :thinking:


A couple hundred feet sounds like a bit of work then. :thinking:


a little bit.. although it is wet and soft right now. I could use a bigger tool... :roll:

Guess that I should be heading out the door soon. Have some stops to make and the traffic between here and the Doctor's office is typically pretty bad this time of day.

Have a good one! :)
