Bicycle Post Trail

minor trail issues, and one to be wary of on creek...
Tim R
Just a heads up: I got a couple loops in last evening between the rain showers and wanted to warn folks that traveling clockwise through the creek loop, there's a spot where part of a down tree is sticking out into the trail. it looked to me like mainly leafy twigs across the trail, but as I ducked under it, my shoulder caught the larger piece that was pointed directly at me and hidden behind the leaves. I got away with a bruised shoulder, but it could have really hurt if I'd been a few inches higher or further over. I couldn't figure out a way to move it or break it off by myself and will throw a hand saw in my pack if I make it out there to ride today. Cheers!

Thanks so much Tim! We need to get that taken care of ASAP!!! Glad to hear your injury wasn't serious. Hopefully one of the trail gnomes will get that taken care of quickly.

Cheers,
