If you missed the on-site trail "meeting" last night at Greensfelder you missed out on some good group riding. We marked the course with arrows - or should I say Bryan marked the course and we all watched since there was only one staple gun. The trail is looking great and is riding fast.
The newest trail addition that connects Scenic Loop Road to the "drop-in" of Deer Run to the Eagle Valley gravel trail is far smoother than I would have expected. Not to say it's really all that bump-free… your vision will blur on the way down but it's a sweet new addition that eliminates the dreaded boring asphalt.
And the course adjustment this year takes you up the Eagle Valley SINGLETRACK. It's a long steady climb just like you were out on the Middlefork. It's almost a mile long of sweetness.
Now I need all your help; Everyone close your eyes and mentally move any rain clouds north or south of the St. Louis county area. With Jeff Rippelmeyer doing the legendary BBQ cookery with his own HOME-MADE custom pit-on-a-trailer and GORC offering two Schlafly selections we are all in for a day of great racing and celebrating. This is our big fundraiser of the year and will fund our boring but necessary nemesis - INSURANCE!
Without insurance there are no trail workdays, simple as that. Additionally we have materials needed for Greensfelder, Matson Hill, Lost Valley and other upcoming trails. Your donations will help us get the trails built and opened up for use.
I can't wait for the big day. See you all on Saturday.
