Fall 2023 <br />Trail work in October shifted from maintenance to enhancement projects.In partnership with Elk River <br />Parks,MORC hired Trailsource LLC to rehabilitate Section 3 in the SE quadrant.Work was done with <br />excavators and included outslope maintenance,erosion control,realignment of an uphill climb,turn <br />maintenance,berm sculpting,and reinforcing the new trail where it crossed the former path.This <br />work will significantly increase the longevity of the trail. <br />Volunteers worked in Section 4,the NE quadrant to make an optional trail segment with two drop <br />features using rock material.Elk River Parks supplied the volunteers with dirt and use of a mini skid <br />steer which helped greatly with maintaining the trail. <br />In Section 2,the SW quadrant,volunteers worked on 3 optional balance &articulating features for <br />beginner to intermediate level riders.Young riders were lined up to try the features as soon as <br />construction was completed,and the volunteers were happy to see such enthusiasm. <br />Trail enhancement work continued with help from members of the highschool cycling team.Rollers <br />and jumps were developed and reinforced,and degraded berm features were rebuilt.
