Well, maybe that bridge.... But I like how a lot of is is just a skinny patch of rideable ground and the rest is the woods around me. The very back has a great section that grows ferns about 4' tall. You pretty much have to bust through them. That's the best! There is a lot of nice trail throughout though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much you can do, but go over the really wet areas. Mixing play sand with paint works on the boards, as well as that grip tape that is used on stairs. You can also crosshatch cut the boards a bit. It is very important for trail areas to have safe built features to prevent land owners and municipalities from being sued. Thus, keeping more zones open and readily available for public use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
