And it's a doozy. Holy off-camber batman! And that viaduct is something else. I think we'll need to have another named climb too. Go hit it, it needs tires on it.

Love it love it love it. You are a true trail craftsman Steve. Thanks to your son for the leaf blowing. Trail ripped today. The downhill to bridge is like a effing roller coaster drop. Nice and raw but coming in. Reminds me of the no name extension before it was packed. You............da............man.

Thanks and thank you.

Fantastic work Steve!  My GPS did not read mileage accurately as it claims total 10.4 for the day but the elevation climb came in at 1171 ft.  Not sure how accurate that is either since the mileage was so far off.

The new section at RRT was awesome.  Great work out there Steve!   

I just wish my car was not filled with spiders after every ride.  I had three of them spinning webs in my car today.     Shocked

Shearing the shaft member after a hard ride is acceptable in my book.

I see what you did there.  The new section is a lot of fun, very fast, off camber and currently very loose at speed.  Hitting that one jump at speed, probably wasn't the best idea, but I was too tired to brake at the point.  Unfortunately all that fast, off camber downhill is followed by having to climb out of it!  I really think that extra climbing cost me the KOM on the Kahmikaze downhill.  Damn you Strava

For some reason that climb back up the Kahmikaze just takes all the fight out of ya'.

Do what you like. Stop hating people for their riding habits and get back to hating them for their skin color, religion, politics, and sexual orientation.

Kevin Brown came out and did quite a few hours several days this week benching parts of the new piece if you see him tell him thanks. I already have he does great work. Enoch trimmed back face slappers on the entrance trail thanks for the help. I restored the part of Ole Chunky where the tree went down more to the original line hope it's better.

Got a name for the pre Kamikaze climb or other sections?
