WMBC Trail News

Hey all,

Again we had to cancel another Trail day due to not having a working Stewardship Agreement with Polygon 05. The Agreement which we had revised for Polygons Lawyer to look at was returned with two clauses that are not acceptable to the WMBC board and would cost the Club 1000’s of extra dollars in insurance. We are hopeful that an agreement that is to the liking of both parties will be hammered out soon but until than The WMBC and it’s volunteers will not be maintaining trails on Galby. April 29th

The Kulshan-sponsored trail day on Sat. the 17th is cancelled, or rather, is being rescheduled. I'll let you know when a new date has been set.
Cheers, Hawk

Riders, the lower Evolution reroute is complete and the trail has been reopened. The reroute eliminates the rutted-out, fall-line section of trail, and also will keep riders from blasting into the road at the exit, which was an obvious safety issue. Colin Tobin operated the mini-excavator that was donated by Mark Salisbury of Fanatik Bikes to complete the majority of the work and we had a solid crew of guys over the last week doing all the shaping with hand tools. The rebuilt section starts at the step up and continues to the exit. The old section of trail has been blocked off. Keep in mind the dirt is fresh and still soft despite our using a plate compactor to pack the trail tread. There are 6-7 new jumps that you should look at before you leap. Also as you roll thru, try and take different lines to help pack the tread rather than the same line which will cause ruts. Thanks to all the guys that got out and got after it and thanks to the riding community for respecting the temporary closure.
Cheers, Hawk
