Macey and I headed out to the Riverview Pump Track after work yesterday. And while the track looks a little rough around the edges, it's still riding very good. I can clearly tell that it has been getting ridden hard due to the fact most of it is hard as concrete. Macey took advantage of the tapered log ride to hone his log hopping skills. If you ever want to learn how to ride a log on the trail, that is the perfect training tool. By the way, start practicing out there, because there may be a Pumptrack National in the future...

Good to hear. The kid and I nearly headed there today but hit Dupont instead.
/Y'all need to have a SORBA/CSRA bbq/party out there. Its a great venue for riding and socializing. Or an Explore the Trails ride.

Nobody I guess uses it anymore, but the pumptrack is in bad shape. It seems rideable but a family had a big tent setup on the edge of the track when I stopped to check it out. They looked to be living out of it or on an extended camping trip. And I felt like I was intruding so I didn't stick around. I heard the waste water station has expansion plans so the track may be a lost cause.

That sucks. Overgrown or did the expansion get it?

Yeah, the expansion got it. It also fell into disrepair before it was demo'd. It was in a bad location. Well, it was in a GREAT location (lots of tree cover), but it was hidden from view, and not in an area many people were, so no one really knew it was there, and it didn't get much use.

Well, that sucks! Never got a chance to ride out there.
