McLean Trail Status - Stallions

Post by axel99 »

Got a little itchy to try out the Sthil I bought last year. The winter blow down on Stallions is all cleaned up. There was a bit of snow and the ground is saturated by drying out quickly....smooth on the clutch and easy on the gas :D . I lost count of the bikes and quads that went by driving out. No one else had ridden stallion over the weekend.

Keep on Truckin :thumbsup:

Trailguy, Most of the blowdown was mid trail and at the north end there is a couple of nice logs acting as a choke point. If you see me doing something that is putting the trails at risk to poaching or have suggestions on better techinque to protect trails, let me know.

I have been trying to leave anything below my rads narrow and anyhing above I cut back a little further, if it just makes the trail a little more challanging but rideable...well I guess you just need to see for yourselves.

Nice work, Axel. I think we reaped the rewards of your hard work last night. I'm pretty sure Stallions was one of the trails we rode. :thumbsup:

Just to be clear, I am self centered and very selfish. I really didn't do the trail clearing for you guys. It was for my own personal riding enjoyment. Appreciate the thanks just the same. :D
