Seeing the pay off



I can't help but think of the long day's last winter, hauling treated 8X8's a half mile back into the trails, and all the discussions that we all had about things we wanted to see happen at the park the county had given us. We knew then that it was a long and uphill battle, which is expected anytime that the government, local or other, are involved.

First of all, I want to thank all of those guys that spent long days in the woods, making our local trails what they are today, and I am proud that my son and myself were right out there with you guys. And to the guys that have lobbied and met with the local officials to get this project pushed through, thanks just doesn't seem enough. Blue Clay Mountain bike park is growing by leaps and bounds.

What started out as a handful of us, spending weekends working on trails, has now become a vast number of rider's there on any given day. The picture aboves is of the presenting of the almost $10 thousand dollar grant that we received from Bikes Belong, to continue work at Blue Clay, and to help with the B.M.X. course...

I can't wait to see where all this takes us next...
