Cleared some deadfall on the runout. Left a decent sized pothole towards the bottom which is filled but soft.

      My guess is that Brutus won’t be rideable much longer with the coming developments. Get it while you can.

      The Cypress construction has a real road under the cliff now. A couple days with rake and shovel and the landing ahould be better than ever, though the gap will be bigger now than in years past.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
