PRP & MD blown off. FB next on the hit list.

Those 2 trails have been blown off along with the drains and side slopes. They both seem to be holding up well. Next will be all of the FB side. We are only blowing off the established route that the signs follow not any of the shortcuts. This will take a couple of days even with others helping. The newest trail that was put in will stay leaf covered till spring so it can get beaten in a little more. So if you come up on us please be patient we wont be able to hear you. We will start Friday and hopefully finish Sunday. Depending on the rain. It took me 1 full day each to clear the drains and side slopes for PRP and MD. If any one has a leaf blower and would like to come out and help me Sunday please pm me or post up. When I figure out the weather and time I will post up in workdays thread. I could really use the help. One other thing, please don't park at the FB entrance RESPECT the neighbors PLEASE!

Scott such a big shout out to you man.  I was gonna call and give you a thanks, but this works also.  I got to ride BYT today and I'll tell you man every time I'm there I feel like it is such a treat to be able to ride there.  I know  you put in a ton of hours over there and you don't even get to ride it now with injuries.  We all really appreciate it and can't thank you enough buddy.  Basically you are THE MAN! 

Brad

BTW the leaves weren't bad at all today on FB side.

I know that PRP is Park Road Park, what is MD and FB?  There is no Farm Brook on the Trail page?

MD = Marion Diehl  This is the old trail on the MD center property that doesn't "officially" exist but we still ride it until MD starts digging into it for more field space.

FB = Farm Brook - This is BYT proper. Or the Farm Brook/main entrance.

Thanks Mark, Thanks to the 2 of you who came out to help blow off the FB side today. We got close to half done with 3 people but the drains are full so it took a little more time. Man its a muddy mess under the leaves. You can tell how much traffic that trail sees all the leaves were ground into the soil. The leaves over at PRP and MD blew off like nothing and it was pretty dry underneath. I think after all this rain over the next couple of days is going to really mess the trail up. So I think that we are going to close the trail for several days after the rain to let it dry out some and finish blowing the trail. So Bob has the say so to open it when he feels like it has dried enough. So please don't ride until it is opened back up. You will just make more work for us later. Another thing PLEASE STOP leaving your trash! Found beer cans lots of them and other trash stuffed into the man hole covers. People please show some respect to those of us who take time out to give you a place to ride or come out and lend a hand to see how much work goes into keeping up this many miles.

Scott.......TY, TY, TY

Guys please help out and respect the homeowners in the area. They have had a lot of patience with us and the trail so we can return the favor. MD parking is just up the road
