I just finished riding the Grapevine trail and WOW! There have been a few new additions and I must say I am impressed and loving that trail now. Last time I was out there it was very over grown and was just terrible. Congrats on the hard work and trail layout, hills are good!

I came in for the weekend and rode Grapevine a little bit. The A side is looking good and I liked the new trail section that was added. Glad to see people are laying new trails and keeping up with things. Matt and I rode the B side and the section we rode didn't have any major trees down or anything, just a little mud. I noticed a lot of hoof marks on the A side and didn't realize horses were allowed out there...

so I rode this afternoon at grapevine and sadly someone has destroyed the nice wooden ramps that were at the beginning of the A side.....
also it is apparent that someone is purposely putting large logs, etc. on the trail....
if its not raining tomorrow i may go out there and try to reconstruct the ramps....
this sucks!

Ryan Martin put those jumps in last year.
A local land owner put logs across the trail a couple of years ago and it seems the mystery person has returned. Ryan and I enjoyed them so much...we left them on the trail and they are now sweet jumps on the side of the trail.
I would have ridden out there today but I thought it would have been too wet.

thanks todd!
so yea I got one of the wooden jumps fixed, but the other one is in need of some new boards, so Im gonna see what I can round up at work on Monday and go from there.....
side note, the big wooden green obstacle that was off to the side is now completely destroyed, not sure but I would say that happened this week....and the big one that was just up the trail from there is jacked up and too heavy for me to get fixed on my own....so I gotta round up some assistance!

I'm not sure which ones you are talking about but I can help you on Monday or Wed of next week. I flipped over that wooden bridge on B side by myself one day. I figure we can tackle anything. When I hear about this stuff....well...you wouldn't like it when I get angry. With that said, I would be more fearful of Kenny. Those aren't dirt piles on A side.
