Lets build some trail!

Please join us at Jockey Hill in the Bluestone Wild Forest to make some new trail. Highlights include: seasonal 15' high waterfalls, techy rock gardens and bluestone quarry ride-throughs, classic bench cutting sidehills, and nice swoopy turns through fields of blueberries underneath an oak canopy. Basically, something for everyone!

Important to note: This is NEW SINGLETRACK on STATE LAND. THIS IS NOT RECLAIMED DOUBLETRACK.

And yes, this is kind of a big deal Smile Sorry for the capslock yelling...

**Update**

__________________________________________________________

Good morning all!

Thank you for your hard work June 28/29 at Jockey Hill. Much more was accomplished than ever expected! Last tuesday nights group ride got a sneak peak, and the reviews were all positive!

"This trail is sick"
"I love the quarrys"
"Holy shiit!"
"It really reminds me of riding in Ruby"
"That saddle was deep in my taint on that climb"
"When is the next workday?"


With one more workday/weekend, we can have this trail finished by the end of July! Won't you please help again? With about 13-15 people, we can split up into two crews and finish this off on July 12.


When: July 12 and 13, 9:00AM to 2:00PM at the latest
Where: Town of Kingston Town Hall
Tools: Same as before. Bring yer own or use FATS
Waiver: If you already filled it out, you're good again.
Tasks: More bench cutting and some rock work, and lots of raking/pruning.

If your buddy aint on dis forum, please pass the info on!

I already know some of you can not make it so we're good, but to all others, please RSVP if you can. It will make planning easier. Spread the word....

Thanks,
Kevin

Bump to show on homepage...

If you think you can make it either day, please use this thread to indicate your intentions. This will help me plan the work better to see if we can have multiple crews. Thank you!

Update: Please park at the Town of Kingston Town Hall/Sawkill Fire Department on Sawkill Road. (closer to town hall away from fire house is preferred so it is clear for firefighters)

Directions via Google Maps

Also, if you get there late...call or text me at 203-545-0437 and I can let you know where we are on the trail.

LOTS got accomplished today.

Crew #1 dominated a long section of bench cutting on the lower elevation transition.

Crew #2 took care of pruning and some serious SERIOUS rock work in one of three quarry ride throughs.

The stoke is high, this is happening!

Thanks to all volunteers today Very Happy

Hopefully one more workday can get this trail completed.

If you volunteered this weekend, thank you! You were part of a highly productive work crew. Much more was accomplished than I ever thought possible.

Stay tuned; tentative workday Saturday July 11.
