LEDGEVIEW CLEAN UP DAY
This sunday Oct 5th
9:00 AM

Cutting back the overgrowth, cleaning debris - generally polishing the trails. It’s easy work, but there’s a lot of it; we could use your help.
Meet at the parking lot across from Ledgeview golf course on top.
Bring gloves and snips,we have garbage bags,etc.

Those who must ride, bring a small garbage bags and carry out some of the garbage.
If time permits, and you’re interested, we may go over to big Sumas and continue the cleanup.

Recap:

This Sunday, FVMBA held a quick trail day up on Ledgeview. The goal was to clear away some of the summer’s overgrowth, and rake leaves from the trails.

Thanks to Deiter for showing up and representing NSMBA - he brought another of NSMBA’s cool tools: A gas-powered hedge trimmer. Now, that’s one cool tool!!!
There’s alot of trails we couldn’t get to, but we did manage to clean up Amy fisher, Mixed bag, parts of Paperroute, and other trails on the north side.

After the rest of the leaves drop, we’ll probably head up again and get it ready for the winter riding season.

Thanks to all that showed up; thanks to Trevor for setting up the tent and barbequing, and thanks FVMBA for the hot dogs, chips and BEER!!!!

I think we need to check our budget and see if there’s room for a power hedgetrimmer.

Best riding in Abby is definitely under the cliffs.
EXcellarator to Autobahn or
do Flinstones to Auto to Viccarro.
Dry and just great conditions.
EXcel was so good I brought my camera and friends,what a view.

Has anyone been up Big Sumas lately? What are the snow conditions on Time Killer? Noah Fear? Holiday Sauce? I am assuming that Knob Gobbler is still under snow.

Here is a link to a great website that provides data from the weather station atop Taggert Peak:

It was ~13 degrees up there on Sunday! Tropical!

Off Buttafuoco, stop and go down to each of the lookouts. On the way down to one of them, you’ll see the Xcellerator entrance on your left. The sign is about 100 yards along.

Saturday Jan.24
Thanks Steve. for the info on Xcellerator.
We ended up climbing up the ranch to flintstones and then back via autobahn.
Then headed up to S.O.B. and back down to our vehicle. Everything was clear and in good shape.
