This winter I have been working on some trails at my place in Linn County, KS. I have about 4 mile built that are all pretty easy. I would also like to add some additional trails and take more of the terrain into account, making them a little more difficult.

Would anyone be interest in a March trail/maintenance/build ride? Maybe make a weekend out of it?

Sounds great Eddie. I should be available any weekend...(retirement is awesome).

Where you thinking about working towards the south end of the ranch...?

I will be there if a can.

YES!

I'd enjoy helping if the date works out.

If the day works I would be happy to help.

I used to own 27 acres and naively thought that once the trails were made I was done. Seems like every time I went out to ride I spent more time cleaning up the trails then riding. There were always downed trees across the trail, vegetation that needed trimmed and washed out creek crossings. Our creek that split my land in half, eventually had a log jam that damned up the creek so it was always full of water and we couldn't get to the other side of our trails without going out on the road.

In reality, I think we had as much fun out in the woods working on the trails as we did riding. Probably the number one thing I learned about making trails is to have as much elevation change as possible. Doing flat 180's gets boring really fast.

Depends on the date. Getting it ready for thing in May?

I agree.

I'll be happy to help with taking care of the cleared brush, and limbs.......................................

How about Saturday March 1st, weather permitting? You would be welcome to stay the night and camp and ride Sunday as well.

There would be a little trail cutting/maintenance (I would like to cut a trail up and down a ridge and a creek crossing) but mostly burning existing trails in.

Weather permitting we will have a great bonfire that night.

Doh! Was just reminded I'm helping someone move Saturday March 1st.

I seriously might hire a mover so I can come help and play on trails. Argh.

Yea....sure.

This sounds like fun but I'm in Durham on the first.

Weather doesn't look promising to riding. I'm postponing until nicer weather.
