Causeway installed over 80 foot long bog on Keyauwee...Uwharrie National Forest...South Central NC

Causeway Installed on Keyauwee Mountain Bike Trail in the Uwharrie National
Forest


On May 14, 2004 members of the Uwharrie Wheelmen and the Uwharrie Mountain
Bike Association installed a gravel causeway over a 75-foot long rooty bog
at the beginning of Keyauwee Mountain Bike Trail. The project took
approximately 10 tons of gravel to complete. The area was flagged and a
retaining wall was put in place. Gravel was moved from Woodrun Hunt Camp by
wheelbarrow.

Trail conditions on Keyauwee and Supertree trails are good. The gravel
causeway fixed the number one problem in the Woodrun Mountain Bike Trail
System. This was the third Trail Care Day since March. The other two
workdays fixed major drainage problems on Supertree and Keyauwee trails.
Although there is still work to be done, most major drainage problems have
been fixed. The trails are clear, dry, and fast.

A USDA Forest Service/ Uwharrie National Forest supervisor visited to see
the result. The USDA Forest Service supported the effort by approving the
modification to the trail. We value their support!

The Sandhills Cycling Club paid for the gravel.
The Uwharrie Mountain Bike Association and the Uwharrie Wheelmen organized
the trail care day, which was supported by the Sandhills Cycling Club,
Tarheel Trailblazers of Charlotte, the Yadkin-Pee Dee Lakes Project and the
Pfeiffer University Outdoor Programs.

Mountain bikers from Kentucky, Charlotte, Monroe, Winston Salem, Albemarle,
Montgomery County, Charlotte, Asheboro, Marshville, and Greensboro were on
hand to inspect and try out the new section. They all agreed that the gravel
causeway was a plus.

a road?

This, coming from a lamer who didn't ride the Kokopelli Trail, but
says he did. Keep up the good work, Tommy and ignore the wannabes
here.
