Thanks for the good work Pat.

You're welcome. I was out there again yesterday afternoon... in places it was hard to find the trail. It is 100% clear right now, so if anyone is looking for a different kind of ride today, check it out.

This is what it looks like:

Nice work, Pat!  I'm in the process of clearing Renni now.  Started yesterday and will be heading back out shortly.

Looks Great Pat.  Thank YOU 

I talked to the Rec. Center and they did not have a problem with us using the trails after dark.  We will be doing some of our night rides there.

Thanks! My son and I did that video last fall and I finally got around to posting it a few weeks ago. You like my wheelie at the beginning? The whole thing is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.  Wink

The video was VERY well done! I've never ridden there because I'm on the east side near RRT, but I'll have to drop by sometime when I'm riding something else on that side of town.

You and your son ought to make a quality promo video like this of some of the other trails in the area from time to time.   Wink  Maybe the THTB website could add a link to these vids in the trail description on the trails tab.

Thanks Cherokee. I think it would be cool to do some "promo vids" for other trails managed by the Trailblazers. I just need some riders willing to do some stunts and carry a GoPro. Once we get BYT cleared out I'll send out some feelers.
