Last night’s grand opening of MORC‘s Cottage Grove Bike Park was a big hit. Props to Trail Steward Chance Glasford and his crew of Dirt Bosses for building an amazing facility, and to the City of Cottage Grove for its involvement.
The bike park currently has a 4X race track and two pump tracks. Phases 2 and 3 will include a tot track, slopestyle course, mountain bike skills course and dirt jumps. Construction for some of those additions will begin soon, as the bike park won the 2014 Bell Built contest, Midwest region.
I took photos but spent more time riding. Dirt Boss Miguel Masberg orchestrated a time trial on one of the pump tracks. Yes, I participated. Yes, I sucked. Good thing I’m still young.
See my large slideshow of 33 photos (recommended) or SLOW CLICK this small slideshow:
I take it those shots of my last run down the 4X didn’t pan out. Too bad…most of my wife’s shots with her cell phone also didn’t turn out. Poor timing had me nearly out of the frame completely on many of her shots.
Sorry about that, Clay. I forgot that I took a video of your last run. Here’s a blurry stillshot from the video clip. I’ll edit the video and send it to you via Dropbox.
