New Mount Holly Trail

Ready to get in on the  beginning of a new trail system?  Here is your chance.

We have the rough cut done for the first half mile loop in Mt. Holly (Mountain Island Park) and need help with the final cut and benching, so that we can start riding it and packing it in.

When: 9:00 to 1:00 on Saturday 10-27-18 (May also meet again on Sunday 10-28-18 if there is interest)

Where:  We will meet at 9:00 am at the start of the greenway entrance at the base of Mountain Island Lake Dam.  If you come late you will need to walk (or bike ride) down to the trail head, which is appox. 1/2 mile from the gate on the greenway.
Here is the google map location:

Nice I live on the lake, and had no idea about this one.  Sad part is we will be out of town camping....

Looks like the rain will have pasted through for Saturday but I am going to push the start back an hour (10:00 until 1:00).  I am also planning on going out Sunday (10-28-18) morning (9:00 to 1:00).

Hope to see you out there.

As always, your help in building and maintaining trail is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to Doug, Joseph, and Mike for coming out and helping get the first loop of the new MIL Trail going this weekend. It's still soft in some areas and may need a little more work, but it is tire ready.

Since Saturday is going to be a washout and it looks like Sunday will be dry and we won't be able to ride (trail) this weekend. I'm heading back to MIL Trail to start clearing the next phase of trail.  If you like getting in on the start of a potentially really fun trail from the beginning come meet me at 9:00 on Sunday (12/16).  I plan on working until about 1:00 

Where: At the start of the greenway (CTT) entrance at the base of Mountain Island Lake Dam.  If you come late you will need to walk or bike ride (gravel thread trail, so you can ride) down to the trail head, which is appox. 1/2 mile from the gate on the greenway. (See beginning of thread for google pin location).

What to Bring: Boots, Gloves and water.  Tools will be provided (unless you have your own favorite trail tool).

Hope to see you there.  Smiley

Looks like some nice elevation change from the photo.  Any plans for part of the trail to be downhill and jumpline oriented?

Not sure but there is some nice flow/jump trail being built at Allison Farms in Davidson.  Stay tuned for workdays. Wink
