This past Saturday we had a small-but-strong group turn out to finish buffing out the rock-armored sections in the first phase of the Georgia/Ross Marble singletrack trails. Thanks to some pointers during the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew classes, we’ve added reinforcement to sections of trail that would be otherwise unrideable for a few days after any rain. Come on out after it dries out and check out the new work!
Thanks to Shawn McCann for the photos.

Thanks to on-going sponsorship from Subaru of America, the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew program is crankin’ again in 2010. Two teams of trail experts will travel year-round throughout North America and beyond, leading trailwork sessions, meeting with land managers, and working with IMBA-affiliated clubs and members to improve mountain biking opportunities.
The International Mountain Bicycling Association is coming to Tennessee. Chris and Leslie Kehmeier of the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew will be in Knoxville for a Trailbuilding School. The Crews teach “sustainable” trail building, which means building trails that last a long time and require minimal maintenance. This helps reduce trail damage, protects the environment, and enhances visitor enjoyment.
For more information, please contact Brian Hann.

A spirited group of seven showed up to continue the rock armoring at Georgia Marble. We loaded and placed a partial dump load of rock and gravel, 3 or 4 wheelbarrow loads we harvested, two pickup loads, Built a small bridge and made some progress on our “technical trail Feature”. Not a bad day’s work for 7 people.
