Your Trail??

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

What area are you building on on Burke??? Is it on Ryan's?, or the west side. I ride there quite a bit and the only other building that I have seen is on upper garbage and the trail to nowhere on Harper around the first corner.

[Trail Rider 1.0]

um... who are you talking to? also, since i see you're new, try using the private messaging thingy if you have someone in specific you're asking a question to:)

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

Burkebuilder, I was curious that he talks so much about building and was trying to see where he is doing it all? Thanks for the advice on the private option but I think I posted in such a way as anyone could respond

[twofortythree]

The other day me and burke builder built a bridge on upper galloway over a creek and r gonna make another one over another creek

[sdubfid]

has anyone ever been down the trail from the sawdust pile? went down there a year or 2 ago and it was marked but had no use to be distinguished.

[ATN]

Right now I'm just doing a bit of work on galloway... bridges over creeks.

As for my trail... I've given up. It was supposed to be near flywheel, but right now building in that area is a crapshoot due to all the new houses.

In case you didn't realize, burkebuilder also did not see this thread until BB3 told him 5 days later. If you want to contact a dude, a pm is the best way. Your thread title didn't help either.

sawdust pile? where abouts is that?

[billop]

Given Up??? Oh well.:lol:

[Pioter]

If our trail has been given up on, we could move the ladders into a cetain someones yard... u know where bb3.:D

they are anchored into the ground

[Trail Rider 1.0]

holy crap! how many burkebuilders are there?:lol:

[ATN]

four.

[Pioter]

We should create a group, BurkeBuilders.

[that person]

i think all you burke builders should change your names. if one of you says somthing i can never remember who it was who said it

[LostBoyScout]

sawdust pile - must be referring to Sawblade. I been meaning to ask about Sawblade!! What ever happened to it, nobody ever talks about it anymore!! I haven't rode it since like '00

The_burkebuilder took it way too far. he should be banned from the board forever.

[Pioter]

What do you mean "way to far", you allowed me to use this name. You encouraged it, but if I could have my name changed I would change it gladly.

Encouraged.... wtf? as soon as I heard it I said "no".

talk to a mod and they can change it.

[LostBoyScout]

Why not run regular usernames, and just form an informal club in your sig, like "Burke Builder Club Member" kinda deal... maybe it would help get some organization to bring Burke the way of the shore? The potential is there!

yeah I think that too.... it's just kind of a joke we have going, like this- and that- person

[billop]

We could just keep our names and ask people if they wanna join some sort of burke club?:???: Just an idea.

[billop]

P.S. I also think The_burkebuilder is takin it too far. It makes you sound like your the best/only one who builds on burke and that makes me....:swearing:

[Pioter]

Me and burkebuilder were talkin about the names way before you joined bb3, but yea it does make it seem like i am the best/only one that builds, I'm hopefully gonna get it changed soon.

[Pioter]

I got my name changed to not confuse anymore people. But i am a Burke Builder like my name states.

PS. Does anyone know the font used in Fat Tire Fury? Plz PM me if you do.

[twofortythree]

yah well im one of the originnals the same wit tyler the others r posers:rolleyes:

I wouldn't say posers, me and bb3 were at the galloway building session.

[billop]

Posers. Us? Pfff. But in anycase im gettin the ol nameo chango done. No more mix ups :D.

[Pioter]

When are we gonna finish the Galloway drop we created?

[twofortythree]

weve stoped because of the houses but its a good alternate route from flywheel

[billop]

It would be a great alternate route if we connected it.:thepimp:

[ATN]

Originally posted by burke_builder2

IMO, it would be best to see what parts of flywheel get paved over first, and only rebuild what needs to be rebuilt. Drainign flywheel is still a good idea tho.

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

It's funny that the majority of building on Burke mountain is being completed by people that don't go by the handle of Burke_Builder1,2 or 12. I have to say that I take issue with your names. It gives the illusion that you guys are doing lots up there. That is like another group showing up and calling themselves nsmb wrecking crew. if you are serious about building why not do something above harper road or come out on a sunday morning to work on the abyss. I have started building with the abyss builders every sunday morning and we are making headway. We have connected from the top of Ryan's down almost to the bottom with all new trail. Our next project will be to connect another line to upper dump from halfway down Ryan'. Believe me would love the help. And if you really want to fix galloway we have a froe tool and we could split you some excellent planks from burnt stumps further up the mountain. Let's coordinate efforts and let our work do the talking. Thanks guys

I do not know what the abyss is, but jsut give me a date and time and i'm probably there.

I am sorry about all those burkebuilders, I originally chose it because it sounded better than my old bb name. Later it was blown out of proportion. I am considering a name change tho, I just don't know to what.

[billop]

the...:lol: atn machine?? Yea you really should change it :lol: Anyways I'm always up for building anytime, unless I'm dead or busy.:D :thepimp:

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

The ABYSS IS THE NEW SECTION TO THE RIGHT OF RYAN'S. WE WILL BE UP THERE FROM 7:30AM TO 11AM THIS SUNDAY. YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME OUT AND HELP IF YOU LIKE. WE WANT TO BUILD SOME MORE DIRT JUMPS AND SHORE UP SOME CORNERS TO CREATE MAXIMUM FLOW. SEE YOU ON THE TRAIL

BTW, the caps lock button is on the left side of the keyboard.

As for coming up there, I was planning a ride of vics, but I could do both if building ends at 11. I'd just be very tired.

If you want me there, give me a time to be at the gate.

[billop]

Hey I could go for some building. I havent gotten up that early on a weekend in months:P I'll try ta be up there. :thepimp:

[billop]

Hmm, won't it still be dark at 7:30am? I won't be there untill its nice and safe cause I'm riding up.:( :thepimp:

[inshane]

Me and my buddy john built a drop off the side of the road on burk :D
Its just after that first switchback :thepimp:

Apocolypse right? That thing's pretty sick. Just needs some chicken mesh on the ramp up to it (white painted boards = slippy) and a few minutes of tranny work.

Props to you for building it.

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

We are going to build a-line style tables so if you are coming please bring a shovel and bucket. Something that you wouldn't mind storing on the hill. We also want to build some berms and shore up some corners so we can really keep solid speed and flow

[Pioter]

If you need buckets there are some on flywheel on the right hand side. I cant remember how far down, but they're the big and white type.

[sdubfid]

for those asking about the sawdust pile, its a pile of sawdust, u will see it if u turn left at upper vics then past nescafe or the bean whatever. its still there and big.

[LostBoyScout]

I know a bunch of the trails but not by name - I will try to meet at the bottom gate at whatever time you guys want to meet there at, let me know!!

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

We will meet at the gate at 7:30am. If you don't make it right away we will climb to the top of triple crown and travel down to second crown(Ryan's) and then into the Abyss(the new trail to the right) Keep going past all of the stunts until you get to the wider patch of old skidder road. That is where we will be working. Thanks for the interest and the tip on the buckets.

[billop]

Hmm. Whos gonna ride half way down Flywheel to get the buckets, and then have to come back up..........Not it!:thepimp:

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

Good call, maybe just bring some form of shovel with you

[billop]

Shovel eh?? I wonder, will a snow shovel work? Ha just kidding. I got some of those garden shovel things. Ill try to find em and take em up there.:thepimp:

[Pioter]

Hmm... Would a snow shovel be good for draining flywheel:???:, it removes water faster than a normal shovel.

[LostBoyScout]

Well I'm going to the OLP concert tonight so getting up that early may be a problem, but I'm definitely going to try to be there!

[ATN]

BURKE PHANTOMS:

is it possible for me to go up red r the wrong way (uphill) and get to the abyss without going almsot to the top of red r? I'm wondering if I should just hike up with my shovel tomorrow.

I woulda pm'ed you, but you don't seem to check them. if you have msn, please add me at chili_peppers_fan@hotmail.com

I wont be coming tomorow, i wanted to but something is wrong with my shifting so my bike is at the shop.

[twofortythree]

o yah i could fix it

:cool:

[Pioter]

I've still got my one year free service thing from blak dog, might as well use while i have it and its still good.

[billop]

Alright, enough chat and more building people.:thepimp:

[LostBoyScout]

I had to stick around the house and do yardwork :mad: But I did have an hour or so to play so I went across the street from my house, and found the sweetest logride, completely virgin to bike tires :cool:

http://www.pinkbike.com/modules/photo/?op=view&image=65546

All I did was build a ladder over a chunk that had rotted out, and it's a freakin sweet ride. Kinda pointless cuz it's in such a small section of forest, but it's fun and didn't take a lot of work.

http://www.pinkbike.com/modules/photo/?op=view&image=65545

Next weekend I hope to focus my efforts on some trails with real potential though!

[billop]

:eek: Across the street? Where do you live? (Don't have to answer that, Just burke is good enuf) You must live pretty high up there to just have to go across the street. Hmm, if i find that I'll know where you live!! :idea: Just got back from Flywheel and rocked a couple of puddles and drained some others.

[LostBoyScout]

Sweet, I shoulda gone up there.. don't know that I'd have had enough time but o well

I live on Highland :) Just one block down from Harper

[Pioter]

If you live on highlander, do you know where the lauriente's live?

[LostBoyScout]

can't think of who they are... i might..

[ATN]

3450 highland is the lauriente palce
3440 is the klopps, not happy to know them tho

[Pioter]

klopps have the hideous blue house that u probably seen before, very hideous place.

[LostBoyScout]

haha, the klopp's is the newer one, right on the crest of hill just before argyle i imagine then? the lauriente's the one just up from it with the U-shaped driveway and house hidden by trees then?

[Pioter]

Yup, you got that correct.

[ATN]

bingo. everytime we go up burke we go up argyle street... have to say hi one day... that kawasaki mule is every bikers dream.... if only it came with a key to the gate.

[LostBoyScout]

that's funny.. you ride by my driveway every time then :)

[ATN]

Originally posted by LostBoyScout

the one question we have not got answered is, if your going up argyle (from highland) are u the first or second right? or is there any houses on the left?

[LostBoyScout]

i'm the corner one. with the assload of grass. :)

the logride and stuff i made today for fun is right across the street from the corner at argyle, where that trail goes in (with the big sign saying Private Property.. that's a new sign)

[billop]

Yea, that is funny. It'd be even funnier seeing eachother and not knowing it, or riding together and just not knowing it.:thepimp: Hey now that we know where ya live, you wanna help us build some ladders on Flywheel one day. Do you have any good biulding wood like cedar?:thepimp:

[ATN]

the corner hosue is ther anvil auto glass place? I believe my old scout leader jim was a part of that company.

[billop]

So you guys wanna head up on Tuesday then? Build some ladders on Flywheel. Maybe that guy we know will get his bike by then and help us out. By the time we're done, Flywheel will be a Pimpin' trail :smokey: :thepimp:

[LostBoyScout]

Yeah, Anvil is my dad's company.. I remember Jim, I helped him build the offices in my dad's old shop.

I don't have much wood, I have a few 2x4s.. and a couple hammers, shovels, and a kickass saw. That's about it.. I could pick up some nails from the hardware store or somethin'.

I work 9-5 every weekday though so I can only help on weekends :( I can't wait till summer, when there will still be some light left when I get home from work!

[sdubfid]

anybody know where the trail past flywheel goes? i was gonna go up there tomrow to check it out and cut the stuff out of the way so i can see how far it will go.

edit: i was readiing that u guys asking for cedar, i have the week off school and some cedar sitting in my backyard that i was leftover from some bridges. i will cut it tomrow and bring it to flywheel and stash it in the bushes somwhere so whoever wants to use it can have it. i will post again to let you people know where the rungs are.

[billop]

That would be another trail that just stretched out to nowhere.

[ATN]

Originally posted by sdubfid

It seems to be a old 4x4 trail, it goes for about 150 m past flywheel before it gets overgrown.

[sdubfid]

yah i the fall i cleared some of it out, but the weather turned bad, i heard from a norco guy that it goes way up eventually tho, but it must loop around conifer, but i will birng the saw up and check it out. and why did they close lower galloway?

[125]

Originally posted by sdubfid

Was the guy Frank, an older gentleman on an XCS1? He is an awesome guy.

why did they close lower galloway?

Private property.

[sdubfid]

no, he was not frank, his name was rich, where do u guys want me to leave the cedar rungs?

[billop]

How far down until Lower was on Priv. Prop. We could always have rerouted it and saved the trail. Maybe it's not too late?:thepimp:

[burke_rider]

or maybee it is:hurt:

[LostBoyScout]

That's too bad about Galloway. Twas good.

Speaking of roads going who knows where.. there's something about Burke that's always confused me. The gravel doubletrack that the top section of triple crown dumps onto, at the powerlines.. where does that go (right)?? Cos on the access road up, it doesn't connect... ?

[sdubfid]

there is a little firepit and some rocks a little ways down, but after that it just gets overgrown or there is no trail, im not sure, but it would probly follow the powerlines to the road up to triple crown, if u go left when u exit upper red r and down the hill, there is a decent viewpoint of the pitt river area.

[billop]

If you go a little further up and turn at your first right you'll find Upper Galloway!:thepimp:

[Pioter]

The entire mountain is a mystery to me, i wanna know its history. It's said that there is a chairlift somewhere and im curious where all the paths lead to :???:.

[billop]

Yea that's one crazy mountain. Maybe we'll find a trail we had no idea existed? That mountain is crazy.:???: :thepimp:

[sdubfid]

there is no chairlift, but u can find the old rope tow by the chalet site, the cable is there still if u look for it

[Pioter]

So.. somewhere on the mountain is a cable? or is it near a trail? And was there a train that used to run on burke, or by burke:???:. Are there anymore myths about burke, or interesting facts?

[LostBoyScout]

that one i know dumps onto the main access road.. i meant the one above it.. :) maybe the lower one just loops around and goes to the viewpoint? i dont know why it doesn't connect with the main road at the powerlines though!

[sdubfid]

yah i heard about a train or log hauling trail too, i would think it would be near the sawdust pile, but i wonder how they did it with the drastic elevation changes.

[billop]

:lol: We really have to devote a whole day to just exploring the mountain. Theres probably tons of stuff we don't know about. :thepimp:

I have attached a map

15 = upper red r
16 = lower red r
17 = elevator
cut off trail at bottom = galloway

if u don't turn right jsut before galloway you will go up a really rocky road and aventually get to red r and elevator, according to the map. I have never tried it, it'd be something to do with the mule, though.

The faint red line is an access trail that I think should be built.... so you can do just lower red r, or do upper red, elevator, lower red. It'd jsut go under the powerlines, but I'm not sure what type of terrain it is.

[ATN]

sry bout that

[LostBoyScout]

that's dope! nice map, i made one waay long ago but it's totally outdated now. what is the name of #26? i rode it last time i was up there, i thought i was going onto triple crown then learned otherwise :D

26 = xing

I got that map out of the book from blak dog ($17.95 :stupid:). one of my goals this season is to create a book of all the trails. That book has not been updated since summer 2001, and it tends to call everyone who reads it a loser. He spends too much time saying don't skid.

[sdubfid]

wouldnt 26 be lost and lazy? is there a bigger picture of that map?

[Trail Rider 1.0]

yeah, 26 is lost and lazy, with 25 being well good.

[ATN]

book says it's xing.... there are probably 2 names?

[Trail Rider 1.0]

only name i've ever heard is lost and lazy:)

as for that access trail you were talking about, i just looked at a topo map and that path looks very steep, but it might be possible, you'd have to look at it in person. Also, if that access path gets built, I say make it hidden:) ;)

[BURKE PHANTOMS]

That is correct 26 would be lost and lazy. The correct name for the first two parts of Triple Crown above Galloway is Ryan's not upper red r or lower red r. The Abyss. our new trail zig zags across the middle section of Ryan's. It starts out left then part way down crosses ryans to the west. Currently it spits you out about three quarters of the way down Ryan's. We hope to come on the road a little bit above Galloway to eliminate that climb back up

[twofortythree]

:D :D i hate that clime its a little hurting

[billop]

Ahhh stop using this thread!!

[twofortythree]

me???
