Trail: building, science, art, journeys, and gear
Another unforgettable journey, and great trail camaraderie. It’s really going to hurt leaving these new friends and sites/sights. I had the honor of working with great people, and historic trails, like The Major Welch Trail (the first segment of the Appalachian Trail built in 1923). more info: link Megalithic Trail Crew beginnings

There’s something rewarding about breaking and crushing rocks…I think it’s primitive, maybe genetic.
My write-up won’t do this or the work it took to build this place much justice, but this is pretty good: http://www.jorba.org/jungle

imba info link Ouch. This is the Pennsylvania I’m used to, knarly chunk. There were a few smooth sections, but they were rare. This is an IMBA Epic. Whether I rode the intended loop(s) or not I don’t know. I’m guessing there are over 100 miles here- Rothrock, and two adjacent parks. I rode 10

I tried my best to include this trail in my trip, as I rode it about a year ago. Knowing how close it would be on my way to New York it was hard not to stop and ride it again. This trail is a rarity for PA, because most of PA is rocky, really,

imba trail link my trip: http://www.geoladders.com/show_route.php?route=9525 Another gem laid out by the USFS, although it appears this trail was built pre half-rule, and there are some problem sections where the trail is now a stream and needs to be debermed and healed with some grade reversals.

I lucked out in Colorado, just catching Buffalo Creek before the snow hit. I’m sorry I didn’t get to do this ride in Kansas as it looked phenomenal on the drive in to check trail conditions, like a mtb park. I will do my best to get back here when it’s not too wet… imba
