It has been almost a month since a front page update; bikepasa might need to fire their webmaster. I’m gonna talk to somebody about that pronto. Well even though the front page has been lacking the club has been doing plenty. First off lots of work has been going on with Poston Trail as always. Right now we are working on a new loop up on the lower edge of Spencer Mountain, hopefully we can finish that up by the end of March and hook it into the trail system.  Typical Poston…you go up, you go down but even more so than normal. One downhill should be the fastest currently in the whole trail system!

- Freshly cut bench and a nice little cairn (ode to Wilson Creek).

- The Spencer Mountain Trail will have plenty of rock features!

Meanwhile in Kings Mountain we continue to take an assembly line attack strategy with the dense scrub we’re slowly getting trail into. Right now we have a Trail Designer who goes in and cuts a path wide enough to squeeze through to flag, and then multiple trail coordinators come in behind that flagging to open the corridor. At this point we are not even working on the trail surface yet…clearing alone is a full-time gig.

- This is what the Trail Designer has to deal with…the blind leading the blind. Bushwhack and flag!

- After serious clearing and MUCH hard work by the Trail Coordinators and their volunteers we end up with this. Be sure to thank those peeps…this is not an easy or fun process.

Finally today we had our very first PASA swap meet. This one was held at Pee Wee’s Mountain Bike Park and we had a really great turnout for a first stab at this. Everyone had a great time, scored some good deals, and enjoyed a nice group ride after the barter session. Look for us to have another swap meet for sure…maybe sooner than later.
