15-16 February 2012 Trail Dynamics on West Cadillac

Major work Wednesday the 15th was straddling C19 on a new highside option above Trainspotting. As you'll see, it's going to be longer and more interesting than what was marked yesterday. Not complete by the end of the day's work. Tim Murphy worked with Cristino on a dirt "wall ride" next to the flat curved bridge (CS15), between C20 and The Root. Thursday the 16th, the guys got in a few hours till the rain got too persistent. The 12 shots from late that afternoon (beginning here) depict finished framing for the new little bridge. Other work was done dealing with drainage issues and tweaking tread from C27 westward through this new highside option. Official map for this park.

  • Primary 15 Feb 2012 work areas depicted. Tim and Cristino worked on the dirt wall ride. It's a bit east of C20 (the long abandoned Teflon Hill climb), adjacent to CS15 aka the flat curved bridge. Backslope was continually wearing down through the roots. Bigger project (not yet finished at end of the day) is the highside option at Trainspotting straddling C19. Much more involved than what Woody marked yesterday. Includes a mini bridge at the peak. Really interesting line.

  • We're just a bit west of the previous action. Highside option is visible to the left, original line to the right. The original line is to be left as is.

  • Here, you may see what Ed and Mike are working on. It's at the peak of this option. A little bridge between trees that'll feature changing left right slope as you progress over it.
