Good, glad to hear it!  It's a fun trail, would be a blast at night time, although I don't think that's an option.

I spoke with one of the builders yesterday, actually ran into him at my warehouse, and had a great conversation about the trail.  Didn't catch his name but he was very enthusiastic about the trail and its potential...

I hit it for my 1st time last week. I enjoyed my ride. Needs to have more riders. That would help work the trail in. Go hit it its fun.

Talk to the folks at (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) as I believe they are pretty instrumental in the maintaining of that trail, or at least they can point you in the right direction

I agree with the previous message....much was accomplished on the "trail work day".  The trail is really shaping up.

Follow the park entrance, head straight east onto gravel road, then take gravel to the lake access area. Before you reach the lake you'll see a wooden sign board, trail is just to the north of the sign board, (good entrance is NorthEast of board) trail wraps around that north wooded area and then will take you all the way east of the lake as well. Blue paint markings on trees will guide you.

I rode this trail today. I had a lot of fun. I notice some changes in the in the route but it's hard to tell where they are. Really have to keep your eyes open. I also noticed some other additions that were not completed. I can't wait unit they are complete! Thanks to everyone working out there!

Rode the trail today as the office was slow.  Salisbury is very close, very close, to having a REAL mountain bike trail.  I think the topography is pretty dang good for people knowledgeable to put in some fantastic stuff here.  Salisbury is a pretty good place for its size for having stuff to offer but this is the first step on a mountain bike trail.  Zorda's bunch at Windsong has and should continue to facilitate some effort here as I think it has potential- a bunch of potential actually.   A couple of guys were chopping roots today and said someone has paid them.  I don't live in Salisbury so I'm a little in the dark on who that might be but kudos to whoever it is.

As far as the smooth or root thing I think personally for the development of mountain biking the trail should probably not be a bunch of roots.  Make it fast and fun.  As time passes the roots will of course slowly evolve from the gradual erosion.  But you've either got to go the Hobby Park route or the Uwharrie/Warrior Creek/Wild Turkey route and in my view the trials in Winston have fallen far/far/far behind what's happening in the mountain bike world these days.  Certainly some roots need to be left though.

Just an opinon and I know there's various views - all have merit.

If you haven't rode this trail in a while its going to be a very big surprise the next ride, major work has been done on removing roots, stumps and other things to make it allot faster and more fun, i rode this morning and met a gentleman named Mike, he was putting the finishing touches on some new sections and it was looking good. Gene went out and marked out about a mile of new trail that should be started and worked on very soon. 

if you haven't been there yet take the ride, there is a down hill that will get to about 30mph lots of fun stuff.

yea Gene is a man on a mission, he has coordinated the new 1 mile section of the trail along with Mike making a few cut off areas. all the signs should be up by now and all we need is some more people to ride it so it gets a little more packed in the new section.
