Forest Lea - cutting has begun June 1
Road building has begun in Forest Lea - pray our trails survive. The outhouse loop has been affected, but is still fine to ride with limited walking to cross the bulldozed sections. We'll keep you updated. The new bulldozed road is red on the bottom map.
Meanwhile, Brian has added a great new section in the 'Yellow Pines' - more smoothish singletrack that is unmarked now, but print the map and you can find it - the path is well cleared (but still needs some smoothing out and clearing of corridor - so ride it to help hammer it down!).
