We had a blast last night at Tranq. Conditions ranged from tacky to dry and slippery. Probably close to 15 showed. I missed the post food at Old Chicago but I'm sure it was good stuff. Hope everybody gets out and rides before the rains come.
Nice seeing all who came out for the ride! Six ended up at Old Chicago for food and talk.
Leah and I rode this afternoon before her work, then I smoothed out the erosion near the top of the south hill. Put in some grade reversal dips to get the water off the trail. Discovered that the flat top of the south hill was dumping onto the trail at the right turn towards the Papio and causing the erosion ruts. Farther up the hill, the erosion rut is more than 2' deep and 8" wide. I channeled it across the trail, carved put a slight berm for the turn, and filled in the ruts from there. They were almost deep enough to start removing rear deraileurs.
About 15 riders out during the 2.5 hours of tread work, beating the Saturday rains.
I'm looking forward to some rain in order to see how well the water is being routed off the trail.
Appreciate people riding the tread except to pass. Trying to keep it singletrack instead of widetrack.
