Idaho Velo Park - Pump Track build

Brad Nelson has done a fine job of organizing the work/build days at the new velo facilities. Only problem - the weather has not cooperated at all. So, yesterday's pumptrack build looked in jeapordy again as we woke up Saturday morning to rain. I was bummed - another build day down the drain. But Brad emailed me back and said we were still on for 10am, so I loaded my little park bike on the roof and headed about 30 mins north to Eagle, ID. There were a few guys there (Brad and Mark) and then Daryl rolled up. More guys ended up coming as the clock ticked forward while Judd de Vall from IMBA shaped and packed with the Deere dirt mover and gas-powered golf cart. I could only work from 10am-1pm since Saturdays are our family day. I took a bunch of photos too. I am sure between the work that continued after I left and the work done today the pumptrack is probably just about done. Looking forward to trying it out.


More updates soon!
