You guys should do more Sun/Mon traildays! I work in the afternoon Tues-Fri and all day Sat. I haven't been out to one yet but I know I'll be riding Duthie a lot when it is finished so I know I should put some work in. Now that I'm done with finals I'd like to put some time in! I checked the calender and signed up for a Sunday at the end of them month, but I just wish there were more workdays I could actually attend!
Duthie Boardwalk WP Thurs pm + Wed/Fri WPs
Come on out to Duthie Thurs pm and help us get that boardwalk in:

Bring a hammer, battery operated drill/saw and or just a little muscle.
2 other Duthie WPs going on next week, too:
Wed: http://evergreenmtb.org/recreation/calendar.php?event_id=7751
Fri: http://evergreenmtb.org/recreation/calendar.php?event_id=7754
Quick update...
By the end of next week, the 1-1/4 mile Bootcamp trail will be rideable. We'll stop working on it for a while, but it won't be complete... we'll need some rain so we can pack things down. We still need to add some rolling grade dips for drainage, fix up some outslope/backslope and... ADD OPTIONAL FEATURES. (We're looking for volunteers to build some features, btw.
That SE quadrant (bootcamp trail) was by far the most difficult area to work in! The most flat and most deciduous part of the woods translates to deep organic and difficult drainage. The NE quadrant is already progressing 4X as fast. Steeper slopes, more evergreen and better soil (like TokulE) means much easier trail building.

Daway -- we'll try to throw some more Mon/Sun WPs on the cal.
BP -- benching the bootcamp trail is pretty much done now. We've been going nutz the last few days. There's still some clean-up and drainage work to do, but it's rideable all the way around, so we can leave that until later. (at least until we get some rain). Time to continue the NE quadrant XC trail that starts behind the trailer... it's going to be soooo much easier to build than bootcamp.
Borneo -- and we can get started on that SW XC trail too!
Everybody -- ride the bootcamp trail some day and if you see an opportunity for an awesome optional feature you'd like to build... just run it by Josh or me and you can come out and build it at your leisure.

Soon. Just have a couple days some place else to undo some horsey damage and get to some late spring cleaning.
Overnighter work parties soon!

The last part of the Boot Camp trail is "benched" but needs finish work. You can ride the whole Boot Camp trail now that Justin made an exit from the long log ride. There is also an option to go over a ramp instead of riding the log. This area leading away from the log ride needs work as it is only brushed and not benched. Was out there early Saturday touching up the Boot Camp where the final logs had been cut out in the SE corner(thanks Mike?), and working on the end of the Boot Camp swoopy section. Sunday morning I was still working on the end of the Swoopy Boot Camp section when Justin and Gibran showed up. Today I rode the Boot Camp to see what Justin had done at the log ride area, and did some more touch up on the swoopy end to the Boot Camp.
Need some more Evergreen peeps to lend a helping hand every now and then. It was amazing how much trail was cut and benched in 3 hours during the Sunday IMBA event.
Some rain will be nice to help pack down the soil and to evaluate my new trail building skills learned from Josh K. and IMBA. Then I can learn from my errors and go fix um. Fun stuff. My wife tells me I'm getting some new muscles too
