Crosscheck on work on connector

Sat, 28 Aug 2010 00:41:10 +0000

OPEN! The first part of the Pneuma EV to SS reroute is now open, and it needs you to ride it in. The trail is new and raw and needs as many tires as possible on it in order to see where the finishing work needs to be done. When climbing Pneuma, just as you cross EV, look to the right and you will see the entrance to the new section of trail. It will spit you out back on Hot Laps about half way up, so use caution and yield to the downhill riders.

Now, time to start working on part two. Part two will pick up where part one left off and connect with the Sulphur Springs reroute that CMBA built last year. When this is done, Pneuma and Hot Laps will be completely separate trails.

pwew, removing the duff has been tough going. The first 4 inches of organic matter is very matted and full of intertwined roots. Most of the time is spent cutting this layer into pieces so that it can be raked away. As such, progress has been slow. To account for this, I've split the reroute into two sections; part 1 and part 2. There is a ravine half way up that makes for a logical break between the two sections. We'll finish part 1 and open it to bike traffic before starting part 2.

75% of the tread for part 1 is ready to be opened. That leaves about 100m of tread to be cut. My rule of thumb is one person can cut 10m of tread an hour, so there is about 10 more man-hours before part 1 can be opened. The trail will be raw so we need lots of bike traffic on it in order to see where to fine tune it.

I have a couple of ideas I want to try that may increase productivity. As always, your assistance is welcomed

Looks like some jerks on horses completely destroyed leg 2 from station flats of Ridgeback. There are huge horse troughs between roots....all that trail building gone in a moment. Looks like several horses went through in the mud and rain.

Stolen this morning, July 28, from SE Calgary. Pretty unique bike these days so would appreciate anyone keepin an eye out on the trails or pawn shops etc. Its black / yellow with mag 30 wheels and a Shiver front end, ripped seat, Hayes etc Not alot of them around anymore. Pm me or call the police with any info. Some of you may have seen the bike at the poker run as I just started riding this year. Please dont mistake it for the one currently for sale on Pinkbike for $850, that bike has a different front end altho the same type rear rim. It was advertised before mine went missing

Thanks everyone

Just a heads up,

Last night, as the trail day was winding down, a black bear was seen on Ing's Mine Road, about 60m in on the trail side of the locked gate. It didn't appear aggressive.

bradfuchs on Moose mtn July 22 & 23 - Need someone to ride with

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:19:26 +0000

Hey all, I'm headed out to Moose for the first time this year from Sylvan Lake, but all my friends bailed on me and I still want to go, does anyone want to shuttle or ride together thursday or friday? or both (i'm a fairly capable rider and should be able to keep up...i hope) . I'm gonna head to Paddy's flats to camp there Thur, Fri, & Sat. Unfortunately I have only a 2 bike rack tho, but we can certainly abuse my Jeep as the vehicle at the bottom.

thx in advance Brad 403-357-8941

The new MMBTS map shows the intersection - Pneuma actually goes further than what's shown on the map.

No, Pneuma crosses ROS and keeps on heading up to Special K. Pneuma does not go back to the road.

Ride it, you'll see.

No, right at the intersection of ROS and Pneuma there is a trail running off to the east (left facing downhill).

Pneuma disappears to the road after ROS and restarts 1km up at the GAS well shack.
