Ice Storm Clean Up Finally Complete
After six days of various crews clearing the fallen trees, we finally won this battle! The exact tree count got lost, but surely more than 60 big trees had to be saw-cut and removed from the trails (strictly by hand, we are not allowed to use chain-saws). Only one tree on Stinky Girl escaped our [...]

Frankenstein Drainage Issues – You May Able to Help Source the Answer!
Posted May 6, 2013 by WCC Administrator
The Frankenstein is “rideable” if you can get across the pond, like shown on the picture. Emphasis is on: CROSSING the pond, and NOT just riding to it and them making a shortcut to the exit of the trail. Shortcutting is one of the worst offences; it should NEVER be done, regardless of what excuse [...]

Posted April 29, 2013 by WCC Administrator
At 6:30 am I was woken up by Kris’ obnoxious alarm (there was no sleeping through it, I tried . . .). After a groggy five minutes I dragged myself out of bed and we loaded up the bikes the grabbed breakfast from MacDonald’s. What our breakfast lacked in nutrition I’m sure it made up [...]
