Dave,

No date on the MX tracks yet.  As you know they were hoping to hae them done last season,  and are still having problems wih getting the tracks in.  They will definitely be added, it is just a matter of when.  They have other priorities at the park before work on the MX tracks can continue, such asdoing something to smooth out Valley Road.  It is getting really rutted and rocky, and they need an easy trail to get to the other side of the park.

Even though I had a blast ont he sled today, I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can get the bike back up there, hopefully it will be gone by May :eek:  

In the mean time, if anyone has a sled and wants to join me at paragon for a Sunday ride, let me know.  But I suggest having a studded track if you want to get up Valley Road.

Dan

May 3rd and 4th. I even hope to make it an overnighter instead of just coming down on Sunday. Of course I have to convince the wife :eek:

Wow, all that from the Nancy who was :whiner: for help because he (she?) couldn't make it up a little old hill at Paragon last June. :moon:

If your wife will let you camp out, watch out for those wild zip-ties! :eek:

Dan,

How are the fine folks at Paragon making out with constructing a "new" Valley Road? Do they still plan on having it done before spring?

I hate to see that trail change because it is a challange but I'd like to bring my son to Paragon but I know his little XR will never make it up the current Valley Road trail. For the die-hards there is always the Turtle Trail to get to the First Pipe Line.

I'm hoping to get to Paragon by late March or early April.

They hae not been able to do much with Valley road because of the snow cover at Paragon, But I don't believe they are actually changing the main line up Valley, just cleaning up the bypasses to make an easier way up.

As for Turtle being for Die-hards, it really isn't a bad trail, if you want a little more challange to get to the first pipeline, there is always "rabbit run" and "sleepy hollow" they don't even have any big hills on them.

Let em know your plans for Mar-Apr and if you want company, I will meet you up there.

No, but there were several witnesses who heard you crying like the Nancy you are. In the video of me, there is no crying only a manly expletive. Also I made it up that hill without assistance... and there are witnesses to that.

So there! :moon:
