Hey everyone,
Sorry it has been such a long time coming I have been a
busy man trying to balance work, home and play can get pretty hectic and this
awful spring isn’t lessening my stress levels any. I have 3 major bike park
projects to complete this summer and I was hoping to start working on them this
coming weekend but there is no way that is going to happen. The snow isn’t 100%
gone yet, the frost isn’t out of the ground and nothing is near dry enough to
put bike tires on it.
I’m guessing the single track won’t open till the first
weekend of June, maybe memorial Day weekend if we are lucky but we will need
Mother Nature to wake the F up and realize it is actually spring and our
average highs should be near 60 not 40 and we should have lows near 40 and not
20! That would help a lot. We will see what the next few weeks bring. I know
that there is some rain in the forecast, that will help bring the frost out and
close to 60 predicted for next weekend so thing might be looking up.
Eagan Bike Park is close to finished, this year we will
finish out the jump lines and tune up the pump tracks and that will be good for
that park. Maple Plain is getting a complete rebuilt. I am excited to do that
park. It will be kind of small. Smaller then Eagan but it will be nice for that
community. I am most excited about Cottage Grove, one it is in my home town and
two it is going to be huge! Big jumps, probably the biggest set in MN, at least
legal, non-private jumps. It will have the only 4cross(4x) track in the Upper Mid-West
that I know of.
The Task Force and myself our now hitting the streets hard
to obtain sponsors, we spoke with Rumpca Excavations out of CG last night. It
sounds like they are on board. We are just sorting out what they will be
helping us with.
Should be an exciting summer! I can’t wait! Stay tuned!
Keep it real!
