Sandman and I cleared what could minimally be said to be the last section that needed to be cleared. It's pretty sweet. Thanks to Liz for lending us shovels!
We were also talking about cutting the course in half and having people do twice as many laps to get the same distance. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen in the perfect spot. Sanders, I don't know what you want to do about this: in the attached image, I marked a cutoff that would give us a course that's 2 km instead of 4 km. This would be another section to shovel, but would also give us a tighter course that requires fewer volunteers (meaning more people get to race!).
The cutoff would be about 100 m of singletrack shoveling. It took Sanders and I about an hour to clear the section we did, which is a 64 m according to the map I have, so if we had four people still go out at the same time it could be an hour or so work. I'll cruise by on my way into school and see what the terrain is like through there.
What say people? Can we gather a crew either today (remember, spin 3-5 pm) or tomorrow afternoon? I have to work at 5 tonight, otherwise I'd go out later on.
