It's December

Just a quick reminder that the club is still selling coffee to benefit the trails. Buy up a pound or two for those holiday dinners or as gifts at Revolution Cycle and Ski or at Fitzharris Bike and Ski. They are also selling the left over commemorative race hats for 10 bucks (hint hint stocking stuffer). Also we have a good amount of membership goodies still available so if you are looking for a unique gift give the gift of a membership of the MMCC and get a high quality t shirt, pint glass and bottle opener to give.

A winter meeting is being planned and I will keep you all up to date via email or this blog.

*Reminder*

N. Loop Single Track Trails close once the ski club starts grooming the XC ski trails.

Bridge Shots!

Bridge placing day! Good thing we had so many strong guy's out there to move the bridges about.

Matt Stone and Mike Schroden working on the on and off ramps. Matt made some very skilled cuts with his chain saw. Thanks Matt!!

Sunday's trail crew. THANKS!!
Crash helped out as well but bailed before the photo opportunity.

All photos stolen from Cory's blog.

Bridge Moving Day

Thanks to all who came out to help with the bridge moving. Little did I know that there was a football game...and an important one at that. Anyway we had a good crew (~16) despite the game and we moved 20 sections of bridge is various lengths.

Sam did a great job at making some sturdy bridges and directed us to carry these heavy bridges and place them along the trail. He will be making some corner pieces so the log's will be replaced eventually but it's a great start! Thanks Sam!!

I failed to bring the camera so if any of you that had phones can you email the photo's to me and I'll get them up on the blog.

Bridge Moving Day is Here!

It's here!!...dundundundaaaa....

A MMCC club member has been building some (9) bridges for his Boy Scout's Eagle's Project. These bridges were made so we can ride the North Loop earlier in the Spring and hopefully cut down on trail closures when it's wet and rainy. We will be placing them in the "Slippery When Wet" area and the "Rogo's Run" and " Rogo's Return" sections.

When: Sunday 3 p.m.
Where: Meet at N. Loop trail head

The bridges are heavy and require lot's of help so bring some friends. Please come out to help with this!

Happy Halloween!

Eagle Scout Project

We caught up with Sam Eggers a member of the MMCC, who has taken on building some bridges for the North Loop's lower lying wet areas for his Eagle Scout Project. He's done a very professional job at gathering materials (Avon Lumber donated a very large portion of the lumber, shingles and screws, and the money we raised selling coffee and membership drive payed for the rest) and getting to work.

Very soon we will be organizing a bridge placing day. So stay tuned...
