Kudos to the trail maintance done recently, I think it goes to Tim.  I took a night ride Monday night and the ride was sweet!  I felt so inspired that Tanner and I created a new log obstacle in the tech section today.  Ok I created the obstacle while Tanner played in the stream.  Any way...I cleared a bailout route as well...that should say enough.

The Story:

Mountain biker Matt Gersib rides the Tooth downhill at Platte River State Park near Louisville, Nebraska, in June 2005. Nat Lopes, videographer and producer. Note: Be sure to watch through the credits, as the most impressive footage comes after the last credits have left the screen.

There was a nasty crash at the Manawa Mayhem MTB race today: Doug Larson ended up in the hospital with some serious injuries. Doug is a great guy and rides with the Bike Masters crew. Dale Rabideau explains it better in a reprint of his post on the Bike Masters Blog. Nice to see Duane in there helping, not that its surprising though.

The opening round of the Elkhorn Valley Cycling MTB Race Series brought several new competitors to race with the regular off-road crew on the Maskenthine MTB trails Tuesday July 29. Nine riders started for a 1.5 lap race under clear skies and warm temperatures. The Maskenthine Lake trail system is in tremendous condition with most trails completely established, mostly by an increase in regular use.  read more »

Wednesday of Todd's man-cation found he and I in Stone State Park in Sioux City, Iowa. I had heard about this as being a nice trail system in the Loess Hills. Prior to going I call Jon "Woody" Nelson for a trail update. "Oh, there is some climbing. Some long, some short steep ones. You'll get a good workout." After the hard laps we put in Monday evening at Ponca, and Todd's Swanson trip Tuesday, we were hoping for some new trails and a nice relaxing ride.

Good grief. Never get trail advice from a Cat 2 racer.  read more »
