Western: Luton Park

I've been looking for a trail day I can make, but it's not easy with soccer-aged kids and church.

great! See you tomorrow

There's a tree limb down in the middle of the black loop. It's still attached to the tree. I tried to jar it lose but it won the battle. I think a saw is needed.

Also beware of turtles!!! I came across four box turtles on various loops.

I will try to get it cut out tomorrow. Are the trash bags full of plants still on the Black Loop too?

I saw 2 there one day. It's kinda unnerving riding around watching out for turtles.

Can anyone help by us by removing the bags of garlic mustard? Walk in and enter the Black Loop backwards off of the pines, about 200 yards in is four bags that need to be taken to the parking lot. Use caution to not tear the bags, might be best to even re-bag them if you bring a few for reinforcements. Thanks!

the downed trees have been removed

half a dozen small puddles last night, prolly be gone by today. Be nice if vandals would stop removing trees on the black loop, but other than that the trail is excellent right now

i didnt see any bags of weeds on the black loop, so that stuff must have gotten hauled out

I saw the bags on the black loop last night, they are still there.

I hauled them out this afternoon. One bag was kind of torn, like an animal got after it or something. I stacked them near the porta-jon.

Ran into an acquaintance that lives near by as he was walking his bike out due to a flat tire. He said he used to hike the property but when he saw the mountain bike trails get built he decided to go buy a bike. He said he loves it and has lost 40 pounds so far!

[Slimm]

many thanks to my fellow mtb'er who stopped and offered up a powerlink and tools to try and fix my busted chain. good karma man....

Trail was clear and fast today, if not a bit dry and dusty. First time for me riding it as a standalone, and I really appreciated the flow of the trail.

Unfortunately, it was too darned hot. Please install an AC unit ASAP. Thank you.

[mnelson]

Trail is super fast and fun as always. I agree with AllMountin', it was too hot.

Met some new riders out trying out the trail today. A family of 4 with two young boys.(8 & 10 years old). It was their first ride on an off road/mountain bike trail. Bike the width of the boy's smiles, they had a blast even if it was hot. I love see that hug smile from a first time rider!

I left my post hole digger in the parking lot Wednesday night 5/30/12. It wasn't there today. Did anyone pick it up?

[Bigtymer]

Any of you guy's going to make it out to CO this summer? I live in Fruita, if anyone wants someone to show them the local trails, while on vacation, I would be more than happy to

My Brother in-law lost his VDO x3dw computer at Lutton on Sunday 6/3/2012. Probably on the Black Trail, but possibly on the orange trail. If anyone finds it, please call 616-752-Zero Zero 93 for Larry. Happy to give a 6-pack as a reward. - Thanks!
