Spring has sprung and so has the vegetation. We have nearly finished weed-eating and mowing the face slappers and ground veg. We also got rid of the cedar tree that split along Needmore Rd. The trail will need periodic trimmings all summer, especially earlier in spring. Thanks to Syd Phillips and Jeff Witte for their help.
So, in the mean time, get out there and ride, ride, ride. the trail is faster than ever. I average 10 mph in the first section now, which is comparable to Lock 4. The second section drops the average speed considerably.
A couple of guys from Murfreesboro came out yesterday and they were amazed at how much the trail changed over it's course. The were really surprised by the difficulty of the second section. Hopefully, they will become new friends of the trail.

PS - We're hoping for some help by the local Boy Scout troops. If you know of any similar groups looking to do service projects, let us know.

Thanks for the post, Caveman. I had a great ride this afternoon although I left some forearm skin on that tree to the left of that first steep rock. Ouch! I'll be back for more punishment this weekend 4 sure.
