I rode last night,  the trails were nearly perfect there is a new tree down up on expert one there's still a few soft spots on expert 4. expert 4 is also being grown over with honeysuckle

I made a pretty good progress at mowing  untill the PTO Shaft Broke!. I did not get the trail that parallels 465 or back inthe trees near 465 bridge & Advertising sign. Also rode and busted honeysuckle face slappers.
You guys put some hard work in weedwhacking in that field.
Karma for you guys for sure.

I will bring a tractor with brush hog to mow the trail threw the field, If permission is granted?

Unfortunately!  Cattle guards will never be permitted. The same as gates (We have already asked and were Denied). Basically! The Park sign and rules are Pointless and are there for show because NONE of the rules are enforced!!. No matter how many times we complain to the Parks Dept! Call the Police,  and bring our concerns to the Park Board Nothing ever gets done.   The Fast Tracking of the Horse Trail was the priority.  We as Mtn Bikers made extensive concessions with the Parks Board and ITRA and offered to help them cut the Horse trail. In my opinion and my opinion ONLY!! The ITRA have not lived up to their promises. There is No signage, No Horse Trail markers and No Horse Trail maintenance at all and no meaningful repercussions for the Horse riders that willfully and repeatedly ride on the Mtb trails.  The solution now lies with us Mtn Bikers, Any time you see a horse where they are not supposed to be! (The Mtb Trails and Skills area/ Main Parking lot) get out your camera and or Video and post those pictures or send them directly to Jeff C (Rangeline Nature Preserve) or I, Get clear pictures of faces and horses. We will forward every Horse and rider picture directly to the President of the ITRA for him to handle!
Irresponsible Horse riders are the same as Irresponsible Mtn Bikers! They make all of us  look bad as a Whole!

During my last lap I encountered 7 horses on the Novice trail trying to get their horses up and down the two long bridges and then around the small wooden banked turn on Novice. They completely disregarded any Common sense at all and continued to force the horses up and down the bridges with no regard to me and my pleading to get off the bike trails. I even showed them where to get off the trail and back onto the gravel. I  was ignored and chastised as they continued  on novice and intermediate trails. Then I pulled out the old camera phone and started recording. This too had no effect, they continued to do what they were doing, Tearing up Novice trail. They blatantly disregarded any and all attempts by me to re direct them to the gravel road.
We at Rangeline had an agreement with the Horse group that was brokered by Paul Arlinghouse.  This agreement was for the horses to stay on the gravel roads, fields and the trail that was specifically cut for the horses. The horsemen were to also provide signage.  Apparently this agreement is now Null and Void. They said they would ride where ever.
. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!

Kevin, Eric & I looked at it. The landing is being eroded away due to foot traffic climbing back up, soft sand and increased usage overall.  I put dirt in the hole, but it is only a temporary fix. The dirt will not stay in place over loose sand. The landing is going to need re built with real dirt..
