Posted up the last work day here, but didn't get any BBR guys out for it. Would be good to get some BBR representation out for building legal trails in Manhattan. We've been making good progress and have one beginner loop, one expert loop, half of a second beginner loop and a half of an intermediate loop finished. We've got to hit it hard and get a lot of work done this month so we can open this fall. Trails are looking good- mix of fast and swoopy (with nice little spots for airing it out if you hit it right), tight and technical, and even a few drops. Haven't started on the freeride lines yet, but hey- if enough people come out, we can get to work on 'em.
This one is being sponsored by NYC Velo, located on 2nd Ave between 3rd and 4th Street (
