    So it sounds like this is what is left:

    1) All of Woodchuck
    2) Race connector #1 (Woodchuck to Initiation)
    3) Race Connector #2 (Veritas to Outback)


    Thanks for the hard work Mike!
    I think you got it Josh. The only thing I would add is a couple of face slappers on the berm trail in The Outback. Loppers would do quick work of that.

    If you can take the mower to the 2nd connector last it will save me a trip to the shelter. I should be there by 1:00.

    Hey guys here is a late report. I was able to mow this evening. I did all of wood chuck and connecter one. I think wood chuck could use a weed whack (string trimmer)  in the woods and by the rocks on the other side of the two track from the woods,also some lopping in the sumacs. I think IMBA Influence could also use a trim especially between the field (VBC area) and the corp log. The snaking climb at the end of Veritas to Deer Run could be hit as well. I think the stihl trimmer would be the tool for the last two areas areas. If you are going to use the DR mower you will need gas. There is little more than 1 tank full out there.

    AS far as I know as I write this. Everything in the back areas has been cleaned up. Also the sumac area.

    Seems the only areas that need to be hit yet are Wood Chuck with a string trimmer. The area near the road has a bunch of stumps and rocks that can't be trimmed well with the mower. Apparently the area in the trees could use a pass as well.

    Dave or Mike,

    Did the 3rd race connector (end of Rattlesnake to Mayor's Meandor) get mowed?


    All trail trimmers/mowers,

    Thanks for getting the course in tip top condition! If you have raced at night you understand the value of a clean and clear trail. If not you should race to find out  ;)
