Trail Bob's Trail
Construction on a new section of Bob's Trail should begin in June 2020. This segment will connect the 'southern' end of Bob's Trail to the Divine Intervention Trail which will eliminate the short but somewhat painful climb up the Somewhere To Ride Trai.

We punched the final segment through. Still need some finishing work but it’s riding well.

Trail Bob's Trail
The newest (western) part of the trail is under construction but open for now. When/if it gets too dry we will close it. This segment will be fast and glory when complete.
