Fayetteville Free Ride Park 3-7-10

Tuesday, 09 March 2010 19:37 Adam Stephens

This weekend was just absolutely beautiful. With the trails and roads alike still a little wet it was perfect spring season riding. We set out with a group of 8 on the "Pax" loop over in Beckley and a good time was had by all but didn't come without paying our early season dues. A few stories have trickled back to the shop about some riders going down out there so we want to remind everyone to be careful in these early days and "warm up". There are still alot of cinders in the road and debris on the trail so be careful.. And remember, cross Rail Road tracks at a 90 degree angle... no matter what special tires or bike skills you have...

Work on the Freeride park went great this past week with the Fayetteville Town Maintenance guys bustin their humps to get the posts in the ground and then followed by us here at the shop to put up the fence. We know this is not the most exciting thing to see in a freeride park but is a necessity in getting this park open. Keep your eyes peeled for work dates and times. You can also join up for our Texting service. When ever we go out to the park to work we will give you a text and you can join if you are free.

A quick update

Tuesday, 16 February 2010 22:17 Adam Stephens

So the last few weeks we have been getting snow here in the area.. That's about all right now... Things have picked back up with the NPS and we are now in the beginning of planning out the next few steps for the coming season. We are working on getting some trail days (which after a recent snow packed ride there are plenty of opportunities out there for that) Also we are working out the details on the next IMBA visit which will be in just a few months. This is going to be a big one folks so plan on getting your hands dirty again and potentially finishing up some trails here in the Gorge.

Don't forget that the big winter sale is still going on through the end of March. Some lucky people have taken home some sweet rides so far so come get yours before they are gone!
