Holzinger Notes

[tomcat]

There are a lot of plans for Holzinger this year. A new GPS generated map is in the works with names of all the famous sections added in. Some sections have been rerouted due to unmanageable erosion. These are have been fixed and filled in with brush. Please do not clear them out.
Two bridges were replaced last fall with two more coming soon. The Quarry Trail section (more difficult) will get extra attention this year as well. Please do not dig new trail on any of the system without talking to WAMB first. Much of the land is owned by the City of Winona and WAMB has a mutual agreement with the City on maintaining the trail system.
Please stay off the trail after rain. This trail is fragile and requires a lot of repair after riding in the rain.
Woodlawn Cemetery owns a lot of the land that the trail runs through. They have asked used not to access or leave the trail through the cemetery.
If you live in the area please volunteer your time to work on Holzinger and Cherry Hill. We have a small group here and every body we can find to help is great. Talk to Brad or Scott at Adventure Cycle and Ski in downtown Winona.
Please respect hikers on the trail. Slow down and given them notice. They are taxpayers who own the land just like us.
Most of all, have fun. This is one of the best trails in the Midwest. It is a hidden gem and a secret stash for the Winona locals. -Ian

Where exactly are these? I have not ridden in the past week since the rain and cold have been a deterrent.

I had an awsome ride today and saw a ton of riders out too. Kudos on the trailwork done on the wildwood climb this past week. There were some parts that were getting very sketchy. I talked to brad and jim today at Adventure and I will be meeting you guys up at the lodge on monday at 6pm for trail work. it will be nice to be down here for the summers finally so I can ride and help do trail work on the trails I call home.

I have been riding up there for the past few days and the trail is fast. Watch out for people coming the wrong way though. Normal direction is counter clockwise. I think the direction issue will have to be confronted
The Quarry Trail is actually really nice right now. One bridge is partially out but still rideable. THe big wash after the Roots of All Evil has a new bridge.
WAMB is still working on the trail but it is actually done by a lot of individual members and some of the guys from Adventure Cycle and Ski.
Other than that it is like the Endor Forest up there. -Ian
