Mid July Heat

 The holding pond is getting used up pretty quickly with these dry days.

 Left Line grew another set over the last week.

 Left Line hip view of new 5th set. Small, but fun.

 The roll-in expansion project has been completed.

 Ankle friendly stairs and filled in corner for Relover Line.

 Filled in corner to make big trains easier for dropping in.

Man is it hot out. Still better then snow anyday in my book. 95 degree + out and a pretty good sized crew for a Tuesday night. Everything that is tarped is holding up good to the heat and dryness. Most of the untarped stuff is also, but there are a couple places seeing wear and tear. I think mostly from the no-brake, non-locals dragging their feet to stop. Brad is laying down the law and getting more kids to put a brake on their bike. Still no good riding pics to put up, but sessions have been getting crazy when I have not been there. Some of the Erie guys have been making the hour drive fairly regularly lately.

The Left Line has been seeing a lot of attention lately and sets are going up quickly. The 5th set went up so quick, I didn't even have a shovel in it. I think some of the younger guys are starting to realize how much work goes into stacking, because they have never witnessed Brad and me do a lip or landing. They come back in the spring and there is "magically" more stuff built. There are a lot of knomes hiding in the woods, but I have not see them dig yet. I'm hoping they also realize the 6 people digging on something should take 1/3 the amount of time to stack. More riding time for everyone or more jumps to ride depending on how you look at it. We still need a good name for the Left Line.

The Roll-In Expansion project is finished besides a couple of nails that need driven and it is looking sweet. Big trains will be so much easier with the corners filled in. Hopefully some paint will be applied soon to the 95% recycled wood structure. Get to the trails, water them and get your laps in.
