    Jeremy, I usually ride a white trek session out at quarry ridge. Riding has been sporadic lately but I'm sure I'll see you sometime soon.

    always more drops, jumps and skinnies.  as for beginners, there's always the option of making bail routes around features. or more accurately, an xc course with feature options.  also safer roll-over-able jumps.  the big gap at the bottom of the right big sister run could be made into a table top so the penalty for coming up short isn't so severe, yet those who can gap it can still get sufficiently rad.  involves a lot of digging.

    I would like to see the overall flow improved. Adding little oxbow bends all over the place to up the mileage is not going to make me want to ride this trail more.
    I'm really not interested in more technical features: I'd prefer more predictability in the surface so riding a loop faster might be plausible.
    FWIW, I moved from mpls and mentally reference Theo Wirth, Carver Lake and Salem Hills whenever I ride QP. Just making my prefs/biases known.

    I agree with Pauls.
    I like fast flow ren3of3, but you need space (acres).
    With very limited acres to work on we need some twists for mileage, it gets to feel like you are on a circle track after doing fast loops for 2 hours at QR... so boring.  Dawley sounds like it will be fast flowing open loops and will be just down the road from QR.

    Nick C.- fast flow at Dawley would be killer.
