The Radlands!



     Last weekend was our spring build day at The Radlands in Redmond. If you didn't make it out, too bad!

Tom Holt, one of the masterminds behind the trail network, giving the safety spiel for the day while Brian Nelson - www.541images.com - takes excellent pictures. 

Bob warming up for a long day of leaning on different tools.


Since Kai decided to sit in the car all day, Jessie has taken over the spot of "trinity bikes cycling team dog." Kai will have a chance to reclaim her spot in the near future.

Eric pointed at things that needed fixed. The sign of a true leader.

Are you guys brothers?

Leaning on the newly installed sign!

Shane getting lunch going. Thanks New York City Sub Shop for the delicious lunch!


     Our spring trail build was a huge success thanks to the over 50 volunteers and delicious coffee and breakfast provided by Rocket Coffee of Redmond, and sub sandwiches provided by New York City Sub Shop.
     We were able to complete a .8 mile section of trail that connects the future Antler Rd. trail head to the tip of the south loop. We completed it so fast that we took some volunteers to other trouble spots on other trails to do some maintenance which included recreating the original trail head at the baseball fields to hopefully provide for better drainage. The day was a huge success and we are already flagging more trail in the southern portion of the network! Look for more technical sections to come.

     Like The Radlands on Facebook to stay updated on trail builds and current conditions!!

     Following the trail build the team headed into the dry canyon for a small photo shoot with Fletcher Jackson - www.fjacksonphoto.com - to make things easier on Shane when he's looking for decent pics of the team. Huge thanks to Fletcher for his time and amazing photos!

     For a couple team members all of those Saturday events just weren't enough for them, so Bob and Sean headed to Ashland on Sunday to help with a trail build and to ride some of the incredible trails Ashland has to offer. Oh and Bob won a hitch mount rack at the raffle...
