If you think these are good, check out CG's latest blog entry for pics of the crit. Stellar work, CG. The light and colors look fantastic!

Yes, The VM loop is very good. Love the compression you get on that banked 180!

It makes me happy to know ya'll enjoy them! :D Thanks.
I've got to go out there one afternoon with the DSLR and camp out on some of those berms,
banks, and gravity cavities. Compact point n shoot camera doesn't cut it for that.

Really, that trail was a blast! 8) It'd be super cool on my Citi card bike. :wink:

Why did you go and mention that?

Now I have to figure out a plan to get over there soon.

Need to get some serious skinny on :lol:

Glad you guys like it. Charlie sure has created a monster! We still have a ton of work to do before Pedalpalooza. Once the trail grows back in to skinny singletrack, it will look amazing!

Next workparty this weekend. Saturday, 4/5 from 9am - 1pm and Sun 4/6 from 1pm - 5pm.

See you there!

Great pics, Laurie! The switchbacks are an awesome section. Doing that CCW is very cool.

Glad you guys are enjoying the new trail.

I rode it for the first time this past Friday. Awesome trail. And long too. Lots of props to the folks that designed and built it.
