8/21 - tree down @ N. Meck.

It's just after last bridge - shortly before exit.

I tried to move it - too long/heavy and is moderately wedged.

Chainsaw worthy.

Been off the grid ripping DH at Beech all weekend, is the tree still there?  I'll head out there this afternoon to check it out.

I was there yesterday and did not see any tree blocking the trail. Someone must have taken care of it already. I do however have a question on the pumptrack. Being that it is so new and is more exposed to rain could or should it close sometimes even when the trail is open? I noticed it was pretty muddy yesterday and the trail was perfect. It had some people on it and the were slipping and sliding.

Yes, someone has been kind enough to cut up and remove the errant tree.

Yes, the pumptrack will dry at a different rate than the trail.  It is up to riders and kid's parents to keep them off of the pumptrack when it is too wet to ride.  We can't necessarily close it via the website like the trail.

I saw the post about the tree and went over to check it out. Someone had cleared the tree, so I raked the debris off the trail. I will be tied up for a week or so, my wife is having open heart surgery Wednesday morning, so please keep us in your thoughts.

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
