Another small but fun group out at QP this week. A newcomer to the riding and the forum, Adam, came out to get a tour of the park and held his own real for a relative beginner to the sport. Another couple, Jess and Josh, who live in the neighborhood happened to be exploring the park so they hopped on for the tour and we had a good time tooling around. It's always fun to show folks around the park who haven't been there because it can be a real eye opener for them on how much trail there is, and conversely they don't have an ingrained sense of the trails so they always show me a new way to look at the trail. Jess was fond of taking the newish jump/pump line backwards, which I had never considered and it was a fun new twist.
I scouted and cleared brush for the planned Grande Pump line where the roller coaster and pump track will connect. I also got started moving dirt to turn the stone wall into a wall ride which will be a part of Grande Pump and make looping around to the table top a little easier. Admittedly it's a bit of trail sanitization but that spot was eroding away pretty badly and I think the new layout will handle water better once it's finished.
