MAMB’s Kiwanis MTB Trail: continuous improvements include a difficult ‘Stonehenge’

I attended Mankato Area Mountain Bikers (MAMB)‘s Bike Walk Week grill out /  spring party / fundraising event last Friday.  Their Kiwanis mtb trail has a new trail head with a spiffy kiosk:

They’ve made dozens of enhancements to the trail since I was there a year ago, among them a cluster of large concrete chunks that architect Clay Haglund and fellow volunteers have turned into a spectacular XX technical obstacle known as Stonehenge.  It has many lines through it, none of which I could clean that day.  I blamed the mud but local hotshot Dan Oachs was having far less trouble. I will be back.

    Thanks for the pics Griff, that last one is soooo funny of you! I must visit these trails, but I will NOT be riding that beast.

    Nita, I’m determined to get back there and make a better accounting of myself. Soon!
