Hello- If possible can we use this thread for work days at Harmonie? If anyone schedules days please also post it on the HMBA.org site.
Cheers- Kyle

Kiosk Roof Raising: Saturday June 27 th 10am
its gonna suck getting it up there but here's the plan.....
Need people 8 plus, a couple of trucks (taken care of between myself, Andrew, and 2 park f150's)....
I'll get the generator from the park for use........
Sure corded drills, circular saws, extention cords, bring em just to be safe, but I've got all the tools....
The biggest issue is lining up the trucks, lifting the roof into place and quickly bracing it... THen cutting the final braces and lag bolting it all together without getting people killed, and without dropping the roof onto people's trucks.
If anyone wants to do this sooner you can take the lead but I know most aren't off during the week, and I work every other weekend.... so that's the next avv weekend for me.
I can't wait for that thing to be done with. THat sucked so bad anchoring that thing into the ground. Luckily a few guys from IL showed up out of the blue and gave a hand.
So anyway at Harmonie Trail Head Saturday June 27th at 10am

Will be at Harmonie Saturday AM dependent on rain forecasts. Currently NWS is calling for showers, however if those are afternoon showers I'll be there Saturday AM for trail riding and maybe a Kiosk door assessment....I was planning on painting the damn thing but with spotty chances for precip- forget it for the time being.

I would stain the thing. I think it would withstand the elements a little better.
Just my opinion.

If anyone has viewed the HMBA forum regarding Harmonie, and the "Pump Track"..... Park MGT has given us the green light.... What ever, when ever for Pump Track, skills park.
There is no $, but we can have park employees use the frontloader and we can do whatever we want.
I will not proceed unless there is at least one other person who is excited enoguh about this project to develop a design plan, short and long term, with the intentions of carrying those plans out. We've got a great opportunity to get the ball rolling but I am not able to do something like this alone.
Ben Blitch is coming to town. Probably early middle August- and he is willing to lend us a hand. I was hoping to have other people's input regarding a bike park and show him our ideas as he overlooks the landscape.....he would be very willing to give us some very useful design info.
Without just one other person- I'm not going to go ahead with any of it. All I need is one to sit and talk about features, measure some points, map our ideas, and get something on paper for the park- Just one other person with a little vision... You don't need to know how to design a skills park because I have no idea what I'm doing but I'll learn along the way..... Plus Ben will set us straight to a certain extent.
I've been around town and heard "Hey have you heard about some bike park that HMBA is going to build at Harmonie?"
I hope everyone who heard this is set straight- the Harmonie 'bike park' concept was pulled out of my behind one day while staring at the field. Bike park will have no HMBA affilitation, no $ support outside of ourselves, will have no heavy machinery except the park frontloader, and will be hand built and brainchild designed from we the people.
anyone up for it? (and not just a 'yeah that sounds good') A real bonified meeting with red ink, paper, and tape measures........ Who's in?
Call 204 - oh five five one
