I just realized, if it's really muddy, the BOB trailer may not be the best idea.

Thanks for posting this up. Count me in on it. I also like the start point and direction. Some of the nastier sections are within the first half mile of the Harveysburg trailhead heading clockwise. All of those steep climbs/descents have thick honeysuckle. As for tools, figure a saw and mattock will be the ticket. Hopefully the ground will be atleast semi-soft. Mike

The Dinglehouse it is..and I look forward to it. Just an FYI about the Cock & Bull in Glendale ( someone had made that suggestion)....I went there after Terry, Craig, Me, and my neighbor Steve rode snowy Harbin this past Saturday...Not only a terrific Tap/Bottle selection, also good food & Great JERSEYS...Yep, MTB JERSEYS...(They are short sleeve Freeride/Downhill style).

I would like to watch how to cut or take out honeysuckle proper way. I think couple issues needed to be fixed, one section have really deep rut that hit my pedals every time every time! Need fill dirt up to level the trail. Other I can't remember. Oh yeah need show you...

We are meeting at 8:30am at the Harveysburg Trailhead on Jan. 9th for a trail day. We're going to walk clockwise and take out some honeysuckle. Please bring your own tools (I don't have any extra to provide). We'll be back at our cars by noon. If you hike the trail (or ride it) in the next few days and you know of stuff that needs to be done please let me know. Please let me know if you have any questions.

So is it better to talk about completely removing honeysuckle, or to make a trail ridable. This is not an ideal world. Let bobloblaw wack away. A machete works better than loppers.

Looks like it is not going to be cold enough to ride the trails this saturday morning unless it is a pre-dawn ride w/ temps expected at 32 by 9:00. Any thoughts on a trail day instead Jdub?
