Went by your recent work at Mt Airy Ave about 6am this (Sunday) morning, and NO standing water, just some soft spots. Good job guys!!

I saw it, impressive!  Guys knew what they were doing it looks like.   ;)

Hopefully that last soft one will cure up nicely.

Yea guys, killer job. They were all dry today even after all the rain last night. The soft one (closest to Mt Airy) will dry out and be good. It was just really wet and muddy when you did it. It may need a little love but overall it will cure nice. Oh and I love the ferns you planted in the down slope area. Nice touch...

Did a fly by today. Looking good fellas.

We need to clean the sight line on that down just before the nicks you guys made. Fast blind corner just after the railroad tie root section. Didn't have any tools with me today.

Yeah, we didn't make it that far.  But I did some quick trimming from that first repair up to the intersection with Mt Airy.  Stuff is growing like crazy.

I must have ridden through with my eyes closed. Was this on the main section of trail?

That just shows what a good job they did. The best trail tweaking work should leave no obvious evidence that it happened.

It was Mt Airy side, right near Mt Airy Ave.   Towards Kitchens Ln parking lot.

Bunch of mud holes there, some for a long time.

Oh, I think I remember the mudholes now! Like Tom said, you left no trace!  Cool ;D
