   last weekend  i built a few more,  have 4  very close to done  and 1  with just  boundary taped.  Does anyone  want to come up sat or sun   or possibly fri aft??  looks  nice weather finally

   We have  the next 2 weekends  to get the WOTA  opener ready to go,  message me or post ,if you have   days in mind to help,  I will likely be there working  the next 2 weekends.  ,for sur e  one of  them   , bit of  a wet and coldish spell now,  hope that changes

  Last  big mega wild  WOTA  event of the year is  being conceived.  I did  7  boundaries  and about half of the inner gates  ,for  a good start to Smag rock setup.  I have  a family wedding to be at in Madison the afternoon of Sep 9   SOOOO,  i will want to start early sat morn if anyone can come  out.   Of course you could stay and continue working ,I will be done by 2pm...  I would rather  add some hours Friday  instead of Sunday...  BUT  if  more people  are  available Sunday  I could  go back north  again instead of heading home Sunday afterf  a madison motel night..

also slightly unrelated  yet  slightly relavant   in the expert class  sunday  the score posted by EXH rider J J from PA  is not  terribly accurate he rode  a bit of  a mix  ===blue here  orange there  .  he rode great but  not as well as score may reflect 

  Hey hey  cheers ya  all   what A GREAT WEEKEND TO BE RAD 4 RAD GMA!     so glad the skeeters didn't  carry us away  . it was  a touch dry  but  quite rideable  from m,y point of view  /  I thought we really  tamed things down  making  shorter  and less busy sections  ,yet scores  were  still well above my intended target .  Most important  I want to apologize for section 5 on Saturday.  Mark Mizek and I decided to reroute the green line so they didn't have  a  severe  exposure over  a deep washout.  What ended up being marked was  for sure confusing as  the  red line  went up a  hill that the green was supposed to come down ;but  some riders didn't see the plates marking it  and suffered 15 extra points on the day.  I will try not to mark sections like that in t5he future     so sorry

Setting up 0 Mauston   I was up there   24,25 26 Augy   , its  hot humid  and  a bit buggy   I made  5 new  sections    Most likely keeping 3  of the spring routes a s  far as basic boundaries  go  ,  I am planning to be ther  Thursday  Sept  2     then  depends  what Kevin and  I get done  we will be  finishing  wed  thru fri  sap 8,9,10     fwiw

  of course    more POOP    What  about UMTA  Thielman man

  any thoughts on  if Jeff Franklins event may happen?

I  d  count  2  for Rick  -mostly  you  know  the 4 stroke  thing

  Set up  is on hold   as  now  gatherings in wi of more than 10 people  can result in 500 $ fine  and/or  30 days jail time   SSSOOOO   we will have to wait and see if that  lasts  2 weeks-  3,  a month??   Originally lots of  schools  ,  public  Zoos  and such  thought  April 6th   that  they may reopen  but that has changed  to  unknown?   

  Was up at rock over the weekend-  built one section  -nice warm day  also had  a bit of thrills lighting  a  scrapwood pile  on fire -  used  a bit much drain oil and diesel  luckilly it calmed down  and I spent 2 hours feeding  all kinds of  fallen tree parts into it  .    With Easter the weekend b 4  event  I may have to  get up there  the  April 4 weekend  .  get a hold of me  if anyone  has time  t get out there       Maybe  looking  at  April 10  and 11  also   ..  if  weather  ends up slowing progress  a lot of work may just get  done  the  couple  days  b 4  the  event    cheers

still does not show the scores people actually finished with  what happened to the old way that you could see it all  very basic

How about someone post results from last event  ??   Facebook  I don't seem to find it there  .It needs to be here  Thanks

 It would be nice to see the results posted  and  a summary of the meeting . 

  thanks to all who  came  and to the weather for taking  a break from being awful( although my farm  got 6 or 8 inches of hammering flooding rain)  at least my big fall event wasn't ruined.   I  need to apologize to the  Advanced class  entrants  - on Sunday section 5  turned out to be marked  not quite correctly  so it forced  a bad approach to a big rock in a turn  ,I heard  a few bikes  ate the riders ,etc.   it was  supposed to be  more of  a straight on approach . I think it was  one of the first ones  I laid out  maybe a month ago , and then  neglected to  re survey .   Sorry  for that .   I think that one maybe should have been not counted rather than the section 6  I understand  a rock wall downhill was  a bit out of some riders comfort zone  and I wish  I would have been closer to be  able to  reroute  and  still use the section as the beginning and  end  were  as good as  a section can be  , again Sorry for that    Cheers all
