Hey all, just FYI:

Last night I came across a downed log that has log ride potential, it's currently running across the "rock feature" section at the bottom of the latest Kitchen's Lane re-work site. It just needs probably two guys to pull it to the side so it runs along the edge of the trail, and since it's skinny it definitely needs to be faced. It would make a nice option to the rocks section, at least going down.

Hey Pete,

We saw the log too. And we saw you too!  Wink

I will be riding later today, after 7-ish, so might try to do it. Thought about cuttin git last night with my hand saw, but it was just at the limit of that saw and it would take too long.

Ya saw me? I didn't see anyone, I was out for a short loop from around 8:30-9:30p, you sure it was me?

I would try and join you tonight and give a hand but I have babysitting duties.

Anyway, there's also another big tree that fell yesterday evening right near the trailhead by my house (Sumac St), but it needs cleaning up and ramping. If anyone's out with a chainsaw in that area there's some horizontal branches that need to be cleaned off of it. If I have time I may ramp that one, it would be a great way to start my rides. Wink

D'oh, it was dark and the lights shone in everyone's eyes. We came across a guy on Surly, and for some reason I thought you had one, now I remember you have the Redline.
Hey, does anyone have a spare brain in decent condition? Mine is worth squat! I need a brain translplant.

Well, if you're out tonight, do you want to try to meet at kitchens to move the log?

OK. I guess that leaves me trying to he-man it alone!   Shocked

Keep trails friendly. Go by slow and say "Hello"

Just remember D. If you build it you have to ride it first. It's an unwritten rule of the ride.

Phew! That was close. But someone already moved it, so I don't have to, but I'll try anyway.  Wink
