HPM team trail work day

The first annual HPM trail work day had a great turnout.  Brought out 11 People,  plus a Boulder County Trail Specialist and the Hall Ranch Caretaker to keep us pointed in the right direction.  We did basic maintenance (drain construction & Cleaning) and some tread improvement on at least a full mile of the Hall Ranch rock garden section.  

Worked from the first big step up to the top near the bench.  It is amazing the amount of gravel washing down that section.  According to the Caretaker,  it takes work at least once a year to clean out the drains & get the water off the trail.  

Was a nice,  cool,  foggy day,  perfect for such physical efforts.

We got a LOT of work done,  and the county guys were highly complementary of the effort shown.  "best crew we've seen in a long time" was the feedback.

Feels good to give back a bit to the trails we ride so much,  and get so much enjoyment out of.   Special thanks to the "non-team" people who came out.  John Deibert,  Callie Riley,  and Todd Bouchet.  Thanks for joining us for the day!

Thanks to all the team folks,  as well as Denny & Mike from the county.  We will plan on another one of these for next year,  and earlier in the year,  not so close to the cross season.
