Catalyst

Lets talk about Catalyst in the Don Valley Trails er maybe should just rename it to Base Valley Trails

Contrary to some again this trail was started by myself and was in 2 sections.

Yellow line was first and Orange line came later and Old cata line shortly after. Could be wrong but anyways.

Orginally made without the bridges and was a lot tougher to ride since you had to cross the lil gullies by going along the hill or getting off the bike and crossing logs. RA made the first bridges and others widened them down the road.

Which brings up this picture near the end of the trail.

I remember making the trail go straight up like the red line shows just cause one should get better and make it eventually but even good climbers like myself found it too hard so the switchback was made.

More bridges and block reinforcement just before and along the swampy areas was from others maybe from that is why they think it was their trail or maybe it was the lil jumps before that.

People just need to take the old routes like Old Cata/short cuts (even fix them up would be better) or take the diversion someone made to get around the construction zone untill they are done. It doesn't look good that someone is vandalizing the fences repeatedly. Also looking at the plans it looks like they will eventually be stretching the zone to Beth Nealson Drive and prob putting up a fence just after the new bypass line.

No more rim job? Did I see big ol titties is gone too???? Say it ain't so
