The PTAG site shows the bellevue workday starting at 10am. Which one is the correct time?

[PTAG]

Noted and corrected. The October 9th day is part of a big community event, so the start time is real early.

Experienced trail builders can show later.

1,004 feet of bench-cut trail built yesterday in Bellevue Park. Pretty cool

I rode the trail this morning (I think I was the first one to ride it)
Fun

Entrance


Leaky tree switchback


big switch in the middle


fun "swoopy" part at the bottom


I think the two top switchbacks can be flattened/made a bit easier. Everything else is fine the way it is.

Everybody did a great job building this.

why would you flatten a decent berm? berms are good.

I didn't mean flattening the berm, just making the switchback itself less steep. It's rideable as is, I just think it could be made a bit easier (just a little bit).

ahhhhh ok. i was sad, but it's better now. thanks for the clarification.
