  What  a fantastic weekend -aside from bruising some ribs/smashing the junk/and stretching or ripping  some shoulder ligaments it was  a winner. First off of course  it was the updates  on the pro  class  results  in Texas  .  Pat  did the weekend with  3 clean loops  and 5 total points  riding 72 sections I believe. Just  schooling the others  on how its done , and I think his time on course was  way less than imaginable(Quick finisher)I know  I would struggle to keep up now I hope Ryan Young has some additive to keep him energized . Back to  trials-  Saturday  I had  Dave S  and Scott bauer  out for a good 5 hours of work , we  got  the new loop marked  cleared  and even 1/2 of it  leaf blown.  Then we made  2  complete all class sections . Sunday brought  more help with K and D  Johnson as well as Ron R and  Fred  Sassi  early   and  good  old Eddie Pohleber  a bit  afternoon. 1st action  had us out with rakes  and saw  to clean up 2 more spots  that  I had gone out  a bit  before dark on Saturday on my own  and sawed   down  a lot of trees.  after a burger cookout we did 3 more sections while Fred slightly cooked my cr 250 clutch trying to rip up loop because cable adjuster vibrates free play out and I forgot to tell him to check that.  Mean while eddie  with his sharp stihl saw  was  on his own mission clearing  another back bowl that I hadn't intended to  need yet  but once  cleared  had to put  section there too. He also dropped the dead choke cherry tree right by outhouse  and we stalked it  on fire pit  so  beware  if you park to close  you  may get some  heat damage, will  hope for light winds sat nite.  Anyway   its shaping up quite nicely  we just need  3 more  built  on  the  land just north  and west  of parking field.  that will be 12  total  for  upper classes   and  8 to  10   for  Nov- Int.  And  if the weather  next weekend  is close to what  this  was  Id  appreciate it

Soooooooo....rider's meeting at 0930 and trial begins at 10:00???

    That's  what   Ive gathered   Come Friday Or and  Saturday  then you  wont miss meeting as easily

Sounds like you had a great and productive weekend.  And a big congratulations to Pat.  Kevin kept announcing loop scores all weekend.  I had my money on Pat.

On Saturday, I thought it worked out really well to design / set up sections with the three of us (Noel, Scott and I).  It really helps to have one Intermediate, one Advanced and one Champ/Expert rider there to collaborate and determine the appropriate obstacles for each class line.  Nice job fellas!

When I went home on Saturday evening, I felt like I accomplished something good.   

  I just posted  some  of our progress on f book fwiw
