So that section you rode in your video, looked like this on Friday when we walked it and flagged it. You guy opened it up good! Where Dave is standing is right when you made the left and went to cross the log at the top.

I appreciate everyone efforts cutting in the new trail and making hard work quick and fun. We should all feel very fortunate that 30 guys showed-up with a can do attitude. You guys did a great job. We know many others wanted to be there, but couldn't. There is always something to cut back or improved there, so feel free to help out next time. No worries.

The new trail is almost rock free and is on top of a loamy bed of black soil. Not sure how long that loam will last while ripping up laughing man, but get it while the getting is as good as it gets! This is a challenging up-hill haul with off camber lines that must be held to keep momentum up some switch backs. Bring you "B" level riding skills for this new section.

The next Granville Dates is 4/24...Camping available Friday night/opportunities for trail work will be available for those that missed the 3/20 wackings. No inspirational jet fly overs scheduled, however potential guest appearance by Joker with a new YZ250FX.

That looks like a L-39 Albatros. There's a bunch of them around in private hands - cheap to buy (~$400K) stupid expensive to maintain ($2,500/hour).
