Ride Description: Makwa, end to end. From Mosquito Brook Trail Head.
Got to ride the new Boardwalk, Kool.
There's some new singletrack where you ride the Birkie Trail, it's not finished, but still Kool.

It took me 2 hours to get to "OO", a 5.9 avg.
Rode .3 "parking lot miles" for my quarter. Once again, I saw the couple from Phillips. At the same spot! On the Birkie Trail.

25 miles of sweet Makwa singletrack. (Out from Mosquito Brook trail Head to "OO" Trail Head and back.)
What a great trail.

Photo #1... One of the nice armored sections.

Photo #2... There's plenty of rocks for some nice armoring... and a lot of rock piles.

Photo #3... Some nice bench cut work.

Photo #4... The new boardwalk.

Photo #5... The boardwalk from the other direction.

Photo #6... Hey, my 10 second timer works!

Photo #7... Most of the rocks have been removed from the trail, resulting in some very large piles of rocks.

Photo #8... A couple of the many Cairns that line the Makwa Trail.

Photo #9... It's not a good ride 'til someone is bleeding... It was a good ride.

Photo #10... Makwa scenery.

Photo #11... The lonesome trailside Trillium.
