BYT should open Sunday.

We were out working today clearing new trail corridor, drains and adding dirt to stuff. Thanks to Josh and Rocky for lending a hand. Trail is still very wet in the shady places and north slope facing trail. It needs some sun and wind on it. It should open Sunday morning. We might go back out and sling some dirt this weekend. Keep checking back for day and time. To wet to ride so back to trail improvements. Thanks to Paw for moving lots of dirt and making some sweet jumps. Go to backyard dirt jump erection on Facebook to keep informed. If any of you get a chance to go out and work on the trail/trails that you ride it would be greatly appreciated. It has been pretty wet lately and we ALL need to get outside and ride or outside in the sun working with friends for a common goal. Lots of other opportunities are posted at other trails on the homepage.

I was out today clearing more drains and putting in a second trail near the exit to take some of the 2 way traffic off of the in trail. There were many people out riding today even though trail was closed. Please people if the homepage says closed and the chains are up it is closed. Josh, Rocky and I made the call to keep it closed one extra day. Some parts of the trail are still draining and we have many many seeps that will be flowing for a while. So yes it will open tomorrow and we will be out working on the jump line adding dirt. Those jumps need a little TLC and not the band. We will be adding a few more things out in that area while Paw's jumps dry out some. He has a few seeps that are really draining. Thanks to those of you who rode the trails that are open. 9:30 Farmbrook entrance if you would like to lend a hand grubbing and tamping dirt/jumps. Short notice I know.

being said if wet, don't ride, not all trails are like this. It is all about the elevation and how water flows and unfortinuatley water flows up through the ground in a lot of spots causing a flow back down..Now as for working on trails take notice when working on trails when building features or just fixing little problems like adding cheda ,,aka Dirt..The dirt is prime when it is soft and we like soft dirt or clay when working on features , it only get's tough when it is rock hard. Water is our friend , it helps us keep balance out there in the timing we work in..Get out to your local trail and give a hand and learn something . If it helps preserve the trail than the work is well worth it..
