Hey Bren

Good to know you're still out there.  Yes there are a few changes since last time you rode Legacy but unfortunately we have been soaked repeatedly over the last several months and remain a soggy mess in some sections.

We need a good two weeks of no rain at a minimum and sadly  we are due for more rain tonight.  jeeeeezzz

Judging my the amount of mud I walked through on Saturday, and the lake that was in the back section.... I say it will be quite some time before this trail is open.

I might be bringing my girlfriend out on Saturday morning. It looks like it might rain a little during the week. Any idea what the trail is going to look like?

Holy Bejeebers Batman!  

We called a spontaneous trail work day to clean dead fall and cut in 100 yards of new trail and we got "seventeen" intrepid River Rats who hit a home run.    Dennis will post an honor roll of the Rats that showed, but I just want to say that you guys are amazing.  The new bypass trail is a work of art, and the guys that walked the trail clearing tree fall are obviously related to Paul Bunyan.  Thanks so much for showing up and a special welcome to those who joined the ranks of the River Rats today.

Never used Lava Rock.  hmmmm might be good for corner bedding that first turn.  Sure bring out.  You should be able to shove that in garbage bags as it is pretty light.

Thanks
