The Steam Donkey is clear!

Hi Shasta Mountain Bikers,
We held our first trail maintenance day on Sunday and cleared the Steam Donkey trail from top to bottom with a very small crew. A BIG THANKS goes out to Tom, Damon, Heather and Vinnie for being there. Damon even shrugged off car trouble at the meeting point to head on up to clear trail for nearly two hours. Now we've got a clear trail to ride. If you head out the ride the Steam Donkey (that's the trail off Old McCloud Road to the left just below Bear Springs) you'll find that there is one log near the top that you'll have to ride around to the left and one big log near the stream at the bottom that we left in place to build a ramp over.

Just to repeat the SET trail rides schedule:
Mondays, 5:30pm for cross country/climbers
Mondays, 6:30pm for downhillers/shuttle runs
Thursdays, 5:30pm for cross country/climbers
Thursdays, 6:30pm for downhillers/shuttle runs

The next group meeting is set for Thursday, July 17th at 6:30 pm at Shastice Park near the maintenance building. We'll do group rides until then. After our success today, we're excited to have another trail maintenance day. Next on the priority list is the reroute of the fall line section on 8 mile. Jeff and Chad are work on sighting in a new line that would switchback and alleviate that deep rutted section. Depending on how soon they are able to mark a new route we'll either rally to start work on that new line or head over to the Bear Springs Trail for some serious manzanita removal. If any of you are so excited to clear another trail that you want to see a trail maintenance day happen say, next week, then send me back an email swearing your commitment and I'll try to get it organized.

Thanks again to a super trail maintenance crew!
