5-mile Trail Work, Part 2

Saturday 6 of us headed up the busy Rocky Canyon Road.  Robie Creek Race has pulled the average runner from cozy beds along with eager trail repair enthusiasts headed for the last rut on 5-mile from recent spring run off!

Rut just after the first optional creek crossing

We started by collecting large rock to make check damns.

 

We then added baseball sized rock (or larger rocks - then took out our aggressions with hammers to downsize them).

We finished by adding a nice layer of dirt that over time will settle between all the rock and make for a nice, solid, erosion resistant trail bed...

Rob adding the final layer


After adding the topsoil we compacted the dirt and had our finished product!

 

Happy with our work, we went on with our day.

 

Special thanks today to: Cory Bolen, Rob and Patty (Taking picture) Burke, Michael Shaw and Mark Schafer!

*All work pre-arranged with Ridge to Rivers and done as per instructed!

(if we did a good job, perhaps you'll be seeing us more often helping out!)

 

Now go have fun and ride it in!

 

Cheers,
