Workdays are tentatively Monday and Thursday after work this week if anyone wants to come help. We will be installing drainage structures and resurfacing three of the Berms with good dirt this week. ok cool!

	Doc, those rollers look fairly close together; have you tested with a 29er yet?

	29er Tested and approved! I think the picture makes them look closer together then they really are. The tricky spot is coming out of the berm closest to trailhead and transitioning into burm that turns you away from the main trail ( running it counter clockwise ). Its easier clockwise if you trust the track and don't hit your brakes The track works well though! You can roll into it with very little momentum and get faster and faster without ever taking a pedal stroke. Really good job to Will, Jake, Chris, and everyone else who has been out there helping. Thanks Guys. Really nice work

	That sounds great! I can't wait until I can make a trip northward to try it out. Thanks to all for the hard work to rebuild the pump track!

	Just want to say a big thanks to the folks who built this track. I had my 3 youngest boys out there on Saturday night for 1.5 hours and they loved it so much we had to go back out Sunday for another 2 hours of fun. I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time at North Meck the rest of the summer.

	Thank you to all that worked on this. Wow, it is amazing. This track make it easy to build some skills through repetition in an hour that would take you a month to work on while riding an XC trail.
