Hey you guys, the trail looks great in the pictures. Sorry I'm unable to be out there building with you, my shoulder is "jacked".  I'm looking forward to riding this new stuff when I heal.  Maybe you should talk to the guy from the Lions Club that promoted the race a couple months back, he's planning to do more races next year.

That guy would be me....or at least one of the guys !  I helped Tom one Firday a few weeks ago, however, I haven't had a chance to go back yet. 

Regarding the Lions; I've told Bob (the other Lion for the Bike Ride) and his wife about the trail and they are excited about it and wanted to help build it, but it's just a timing issue for most of us....goes without saying this is a busy time of year !  I know the objective is to finish before the new year, but I can say that the only time I could help is on the weekends, and until after Christmas, my weekends are totally booked.  I have talked to Bob about working the trail and he and his wife are pretty much in the same boat.  I can say that I do have the week after Christmas off, so I should be available to help, and I will continue to keep Bob (and his wife) in the loop too.

Looking forward to hitting the trail soon to see how it's coming along.

Still need help in the final push. Me and Tom so far. Bud helped out and pushed us forward a bit and thanks again for the help! With me and Tom only it will take another five full work days to finish the trail. I was out there yesterday for 6 hours and today with Tom for another 6. We got it moved forward alot today. ....see attached pics... call me if you can go out during the week at 805-338-9696. Thanks..Randy
Ps...I think If we can pull together a five man team we can do it in two days...three max...lets stop working and start riding.

Tom is trying to post video of completed trail from this afternoon. He rode down from the finished part so you can all see how great it will be.
We are planning to work next monday, wednesday and thursday if anyone can come out to help.

You were right....nice coffee can holes....from the four footed turd dropping hole making ....
arggggghhhhhhhhh
Went around the sign and makes me upset but I guess that is what we have to deal with until the trail hardens...
almost there....thanks for posting the video...
Just so everyone knows this trail will end up by the towers so you have another way down besides Kona and Burn victim
New tentative trail name is COLON CANYON....
see google picture to see proposed out to towers.
suggestions welcome.

OK SO HERE IS THE WAY I SEE IT COMING OUT AND THE STATUS OF TRAIL AS OF TODAY.
Using existing cut fire lines by fire crews we can punch it up and be able to climb around mountain and up to side of plateau and make it fun dropping in using cut lines from the powerlines. Just need to make small transition at top and bottom to make it happen. suggestions welcome.
THIS VIEW OF GOOGLE EARTH SHOWS THE AREA THE BEST SO YOU CAN GET AN IDEA.

Charlie Canyon runs parallel to, and north of Tapia Canyon in Castaic. The end of this new trail is at 34 30'10" N, 118 34'15" W . Punch these coordinates into Google Earth.

It's been about a month and a 1/2 since I worked on the trail, so I finally got to check it out yesterday morning and can only say "WOW" !  It's amazing how far it has progressed.  The damage done by the horses was frustrating.....the sign was down when we got there, so we put it back up when we left. 

Hopefully the upcoming rain will be just enough to pack the trail down and not wash it way. 

Great job and keep it up !
