Fall colors beginning...

I did a ride this morning mainly to clear some dead-fall that was blocking the trail. Its all clear now. The Fall colors are beginning to come out. The dark soil was beginning to be covered by yellow leaves. All the rain has filled the streams so you hear the water tumbling in the hollows below the trail. Now's the time to get riding.

Weed cutting...

Some of our club members have been on the trail doing some string trimming and mowing. There were about 3 spots that had gotten grown up a little that should be in good shape now. Happy riding!

How cool are these...

Here are a couple of recent emails addressed to our Trail Tsar:

Wanted to thank you for the trail....it was a blast.  We all (12) met
yesterday and did the trail for the first time.  Some experienced (a few mtn
bike racers) --- some not ---- it was fun for all of us!  One of the guys
from England who races... said it was one of the most fun trails he has been
on....it was fast!

We all plan to come again soon and bring others .... probably on a Saturday
next time ... so we can visit downtown and eat @ the Marble City .....

Thanks again....you guys did a great job!

Johnny,

A group of us rode the Sylaward Trail yesterday. I enjoyed it so much.
It was a really fun trail, no stress (I don't enjoy the death defying
technical stuff so much).

Your club did a great job creating the trail, and I hope I get a
chance to return and play again.

Thank you for your hard work to help create such a valuable asset for
the community.

Thanks,
Alex Miller

Blazes have been received from the USFS. Teams are installing them on the trail. They feature the COGS logo on a light reflective surface. Logo colors match trail section colors on the official USFS map of the trail.
