New Address!

 

The gang at Club Scrub wants to thank Larry G. for all the hard work he's done on the trails and helping with events. Larry has moved up to Central Florida to be closer to his family and, ahem...Santos (can you blame him?). He put countless hours of work most mornings trimming and building structures on the trail and his hard work will definitley be missed as he was the backbone to our trail maintenance. Happy Trails Larry!

Your Club Scrub financial support brought us this nifty Mule. Trailwork has increased significantly with the purchase of the 4-wheeler and the tools you see in it. Thank you for your donations!

Try The Skills Park!

Check out Club Scrub's ‘skills park' located just east of the trail head gazebo. This area consists of various obstacles configured to mimic situations a rider would encounter while using the camp Murphy trail system. Obstacles include numerous log piles, a balance beam, a root garden, a pit with ramps and small ‘wheelie drop'.

All of these structures are set up so that beginner riders can give them a try in an open grassy area free from saw palmettos or other typical trail features that could cause injury (sharp pokey things, pigs, alligators, man eating gopher tortoises?). As always, PLEASE wear an approved helmet.

Trail News

7/2/09 4:00pm Update: JDSP received 0.70" of rain and it's still raining. Should be great riding this weekend. Rain chances lower a bit to the 40-50% range through Monday.

Hopefully our trailwork team can get out there this weekend and trim some trail.

It's very hot when the sun is out so please bring a sports drink with you and hydrate!

WATCHOUT FOR LIGHTNING IN THUNDERSTORMS!!

 

June 21 - The first 100m of 8/10 and all of Prickly Pear has been trimmed.

The two large fallen trees on the Hare step-down bypass have been cleared.

May 29 - The beginning of Hare was trimmed to the 1st concrete structure as well as Silo and the 8/10 bypass to Silo

Gator Hole bridge

 

Doe has a new wooden berm to help get up the sand. Check it out below. Nice work Larry!

Sandbuster

 

A new stair-step down on the Hare trail has been built. If you're not ready to tackle the steps, keep left per the green arrow at the fork to bypass it.

Walden (not on the map) is cut and needs to be ridden! The new sign is now up so check it out. The loop ends on Osprey about 20 yards from where you left.

The Osprey loop is now 4 different trails...

Walden/Osprey

1. Osprey (starts at original spot at the firebreak after Middle Ridge)

2. Walden (dry lake loop off of Osprey that existed before and now recut)

3. Root Loop (the southern extent of old Osprey that has several technical root sections)

4. Doe (northern part of old Osprey that returns you to Big Burn)

Note: Root Loop & Doe start very close to one another, so if you want to skip the rooty sections a sign will point you to Doe.

RootLoop/Doe

 

A downramp has been installed coming off the 8/10 concrete slab. Now you're able to ride over it, bypassing the deep sand and gaining speed into the horseshoe. Check it out...

8/10 Downramp

 

Next Phase

  • have at least one exit to a paved road on every trail and numbering the signs
  • incorporating "DROP" signs into those steep sections for safety purposes
  • remapping all changes
