  1. I'd really like to use it on Suburban Ninja.  When I rode it a week ago only two-thirds of the southern section (leading to the trees) was cut, and it also needs to be trimmed beyond that under the tree cover for a ways..  The hog would make quick work of that.  Would need to touch base with whoever is maintaining the trail to make sure they are okay with doing that.

  3. There was a facebook post requesting microphone/amp/speakers for peddlers pass. I offered it up but cannot find the post on facebook. Someone said they were going to message me, but I never got a message.
    If you still need the equipment let me know.
    A guy was found who had all the equipment and able to do announcements. Thanks!

  4. Another funny thing that happens is when an experienced person sees me working and it's too muddy they will exit the trail before they get to me to avoid the conversation above.


    That's what I do when I see you in general.

  5. I was thinking of Lee McCormack this weekend.  So basically anti-row as you're rolling off?  That's usually what I do but not when I feel like my front tire will hit a rock on the landing.  That's my biggest problem.
    That's what front suspension is for.

  6. Davis Green?!?!? My nemesis! David Green!  Albert, let’s coordinate this week to clean these sections up with the hog. I’ll shoot you a PM. 

     

     

    My fault. I wouldn't want to mix you up with that scoundrel Davis Green I hear he wears lycra and goes slow.

    I'd be glad to help trim back Picnic with that brush hog, and I've used that very machine before (up at Lake Georgetown).  I have no means of transporting it, though.  Parts of Gumdrop and Snow White could also use the same treatment.  Suburban Ninja was also quite bad the last time I rode it, not sure how much of that has been trimmed since then.  That long section of trail behind the houses needs some serious trimming, for instance.  

    SUB NINJA has been worked on. Gum drop hasn't or snow. But Snow is so low traffic I'm not gonna worry on it now. Davis Green offered to cut Picnic and he lives within walking distance to it so I just need to drop at his place. Thanks. I'll let you know if we can coordinate the other areas.

  8. Oh, speaking of Gumdrop, the bridge right at the beginning (eastern end) has a tree that is leaning over it.  It's no longer possible to ride the bridge -- the tree is slowly falling over, with the root ball already popping out of the ground.  

    Yea we know. We are debating what to do. We are hesitant to cut it out because the root ball holds that bank in. May try and winch it up and secure. But I bet it will need to go.

  9. I already responded on FB, but it's ok, go ahead and ignore the senior society....

    I saw your response after his PM. You know you are my goto for any wood work anyways.

  10. The Josh N Josh Show.

    Threw down a solid first effort on Peddlers Pass. 32 mins and that's with sessioning a few spots and stopping for a group ride of little bellas for a bit and pulling over to let one few riders pass. I gotta say that was pretty fun. 6eb342d424836be2beeec3c99ebbe9ec.jpg8f8d9cef94de23e3e7ac637a2b4accef.jpg

  11. I was looking on Strava today at some times.  For 1/4 notch it says the top time is about 14 minutes?   Is that really right?  Someone is doing ALL of quarter notch in less than 15 minutes???  Hell, I'd be super impressed with 20.  
    Most likely not. In general strava is fairly unreliable in twistier trail systems

  12. Serious question.............Do you start this by putting 4 quarters in the little slidey thing?!  I mean it's so cute and tiny AB doesn't even look like it's fun to drive. On another note, good to know Bermy Sanders is back in town and running for President of the buttholes!

    That photo looks a little wonky . Looks like it was auto compressed to fit weird. that machine is standard size for any trail building company across nation that build machine built singletrack  . It's the U17 series. And if we're being picky you don't drive an excavator you operate one and no matter the size they are all fun. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  13. to have a berm of that caliber in that much rock is super-impressive!  KOM, can you come out to PB?  there are no rocks at all there!
    If you want to add rocks Peddlers Pass has plenty to donate
