Relocated the do not enter sign, added caution tape, added brush to the old corridor, and extracted the wooden bridge that people were dropping. If someone rides past this without pause, they are just a jerk.

The brush that was there has been moved by rogues. I'll add more.

The ambulance trail is still a one way trail, the old corridor is just there because nothing is growing there and it's on the fall line. There is a do not enter sign at the top, but I will check the location to ensure it is visible to riders.

Re: having a downloadable brochure on the web page.

Is there info in the brochure that is not on the web site, or were you guts thinkig peopme might like to print it out?

In any case, does someone have a pdf of the current brochure?

Come out at 9 am this Saturday to participate in the final official trailday of the yer at Quarry Ridge, coinciding with National Trail Day.

We will be finishing the entrance trail, polishing the XC loop, and building up the berms and transitions on the DH lines.

If the weather cooperates we will grill out and have a cold one around 1 pm, followed by a ride. If its raining we will head down the street to Buffalo Wild Wings.

Come on out and help get QR in tip top shape for riding season!

We had some productive trail flagging, corridor clearing, and beer drinking tonight. Thanks to Scot, Bin, and Richard for coming out to help out (especially Scot who brought a nice craft beer selection).

We brought the clinometer out and really re-assesed the entire thing. We've got a new corridor going up the side of the ridge and winding through a nice bowl / Aspen grove near the top that is choc-full of invasive species. It took a lot of cutting to walk the corridor and measure the climb, but the result is a steady 10% grade with some steeper and flatter sections the entire way up.

This is going to require a lot more invasive species removal and bench-cutting but I think everyone will be satisfied with the end result.

Thought I'd compile several helpful trailbuilding links. I've referenced the IMBA site in the past but they keep the themes pretty high-level in hopes of selling the trailbuilding textbook. Anyway, here are the best things I've been able to find:

• IMBA - 10 Trailbuilding Mistakes http://www.imba.com/resources/trail-building/10-most-common-trailbuilding-mistakes
• IMBA - An Easy Way to Toughen Trails http://www.imba.com/resources/trail-building/easy-way-toughen-trails
• American Trails.org - design elements of sustainable contour trails http://www.americantrails.org/resources/trailbuilding/MAsustain.html
• American Trails Trailbuilding Handbook - all around trailbuilding handbook http://atfiles.org/files/pdf/TNpathways.pdf

Does anyone else have any good trailbuilding resources to link to? Either design techniques (how to lay out the trail) or construction techniques (ex. how to bench cut)?
