Trail Source Project List Most Recent First In 2017 Trail Source started working in Southeastern Iowa and built 4 miles of trails in Burlington Iowa for the county and the local bike group. This trail system was built on extreme side slope with many features that the local community had not experienced prior. Now this is one of the most popular trails in the area. Following Burlington we built trails in Asbury Iowa where Trail Source built the first ever mountain bike trails for the city of Asbury. Following Asbury. Trail Source moved to Crosby Minnesota and worked on separation of trail systems at the Cuyuna mountain biking area. Trail Source also built 5 miles at Theodore Wirth Park for the Loppet Foundation as well as the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. 1 a. Most recently Trail Source has been building trail in Duluth MN. In 2016 we completed approximately 10 miles of mountain bike specific trails in the Mission Creek area as well as about .5 mile of trail in the Traverse Trail System. 1. Beck Lake, Cody Wyoming This was a project built by Trail Source personnel in 2015. We built 8 miles of mountain bike optimized trail on land owned by the City of Cody and The United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM). This land is located in an area of the United States that is considered high plains dessert and has very defined practices that are allowed by any contractor that works on this land. We were required to remain in a very tight trail construction corridor in order to protect native plants and wildlife. Trail Source was required to restore all non -trail areas to natural vegetation. The trail included a Imile climb and a 2mile downhill flow trail optimized with berm turns, rollers, directional rollers, drop ins and jumps. All work was performed using a small rubber tracked mini -excavator, 2 rubber tracked Ditch Witch dozers and hand tools. All machine operators have had a minimum of 4 years of experience running these machines and are highly skilled and efficient in their work. The timeline for construction was approximately 8 weeks of onsite construction. Trail Source has been invited to return for a new project in 2017 to build an additional 4 miles of trail, a pump park and a jump park in the same area. 2. S.W. Wirth Park Minneapolis MN. This project was built by Trail Source in 2014. We built 4 miles of mountain bike optimized trail in this park. This trail included approximately 1 mile total of gravity assisted flow trail. This mountain bike trail was built to be one of the more difficult trails in the metro area. We built numerous drops, very large berm turns, step up jumps, staircases and a couple of switchbacks. Included in the trail was a bump and pump section. We worked on extreme side slope and because of the location of this park on the Western edge of Minneapolis we had to be careful of all environmental concerns.
