Looking for some help.
My electric chain saw just can’t cut it. Literally.
All of you will know the section: East side trail just south of Eglinton. The big ride around gulley. Back in the day kids had a North Shore looking bridge to face plant over the gulley.
With my old eyes I feel like the gulley is doable, as a g-out section. It’s jus…[Read more]

I walked the Matheson loop today with my almost 6 year old 🙂 we only had a pruning saw and could only move some downed trees.
@FastTimes does that watered-out section parallel to the 401 & the construction Always see that much water in the spring??? If so maybe we should repurpose wood from my work to fix the need. OR reroute that section…[Read more]

I think I know where you’re talking about, I’ll have a gander. I haven’t walked the whole trail yet and witnessed all the carnage.
A suggestion for Meglington, perhaps someone can mark the trail with flagging tape? I don’t know it well enough if it’s totally wiped out. But I’m def game to help fix’er up. I would hate to start digging and be…[Read more] -

@FastTimes can you show me on the map where the field of mud – water crossing is located, on the Matheson loop? I’m not clear where you’re talking about. I have bridge almost ready to install … but I was thinking near the exit where the trail gets close to the rivers edge. Is that the place? See my attached photo.

@FastTines It’s drying up where I was working but I haven’t checked the rest of the trail. I was out today widening the exit if Matheson loop. See pics.

My thoughts exactly. I’m only doing work I know that could possibly land me in the hospital.
Be well everyone and hang in there!

I came back to the Matheson loop with my saw. I had to make a reroute around a big downed tree (unless someone has a bigger saw than I do). Hopefully the early start to trail work will have us enjoying the trails sooner rather than later 🙂

I did a little self-isolation trail walk today. Looks like I need to return with my saw in the Matheson Loop. I had an hour to kill so I tried cutting some bench — hopefully when the weather becomes nicer this COVID crisis will be behind us.
Be well.

@fasttimes thank you for not blasting me here on the forum. As you noted my intentions were in the right place. I would love to see the trails here grow and become enjoyable for all — even if that means you and I get together and rebuild an old drop 🙂 Heck, we should improve it so there is an A-line and B-line.
I do hope my aspirations allow…[Read more]

My humblest apologies @fasttimes , that douche was me.
I took it upon myself to up-cycle, what I thought was an unused derelict, to help build the bridge that currently allows users to bypass the downed tree at the end of the Matheson loop.
For me, seeing unused wood (as with the other neglected jump and skinnies at the bottom of that pitch)…[Read more]

I’m loving the helpful and quick responses here folks. I have a busy week but I’ll try to get in on the weekend with a saw as well.
What @fasttimes said here is definitely helpful. Adding a photo, as well as something that can add scale to that photo, will help to decide which tool to bring to the trail 🙂

Can you locate it roughly using a screen shot on a map, so I don’t have to ride the whole trail with a saw 🙂

@singleandfixed what is the name of that trail according to TrailForks with the tree down. I might be able to get to it with my cordless chainsaw.
I’ve almost finished similar work on the Matheson trail.

I was back again today with the blower and worked in a little booter where the tree was down. Lip isn’t perfect because I was stopped by a broken handle on my McLeod.
I’ll be back and like @fasttimes said to work on the over growth and brush. Trail also needs some bench cutting as well. I’ll see what I can do.

Matheson loop had two big trees down. I got one this evening. The second is about shoulder height on its side and might need a trail feature added to it 🙂
I’m also going to try and bring a blower through there. It definitely needs it. Thank goodness for the tent sail at Atlas Tools over the weekend —gotta chainsaw and blower for a smokin dea…[Read more]

I have a confession to make: I did some work on RFG connector tonight — I limbed a tree that was hanging over the rock roll.
Perhaps some of you enjoyed avoiding the tree branch while shooting over the rocks — for that I am sorry.
I hope this post strikes up the conversation about what work that needs to be done and how we can unite and to do…[Read more]

@fasttimes I would look into a warranty issue with the Kicker. Their customer service is said to be top notch. DC Rainmaker (a top youtuber) had the CEO of Wahoo address all the problems they were currently facing and some fixes for Kickers specifically.
