The 6th Annual 12 Hours of Bradbury Mountain | Saturday September 22nd

Yarmouth West Side Trail Days

 
NEMBA has several work sessions planned over the next few weeks.  Please join us if you can:
 
Thursday (5/17),  5pm - 7pm
 
Saturday (5/19) @ 8:30am
I will be leading a crew to work on the big bridge (BR4-4) crossing the ravine in section W2 (see drawing of bridge below).  The wood is prepped and is ready to go at the bridge location.  We will need to dig the footings and do the assembly.  Meet at the Gilman Rd gate to the power line corridor at 8:30am or find us on the trail.  Please respond if you are planning to join us.  Should be a fun build!
 
Tuesday (5/22), 12:00pm - 3pm
Members of the Yarmouth High School senior class will be working on the trail as a community service project.  They will be clearing and hardening the trail in sections W4 and N1.  We are very happy to have the help of the students!
 
Saturday and Sunday (6/2 - 6/3), 9am - 4pm

">Devon Bray will be working on the section of trail entering from Princes Point Rd and leading to the west side of segment 4 for his Eagle Scout project.  There will be 2 bridges to build, some bench cutting on the approaches to BR4-1, trail hardening/surfacing with stone and gravel as well as general clearing (raking, lopping, grubbing, etc).  We will need the help of many volunteers to accomplish this work in one weekend.  Please meet where the power line crosses Princes Point Rd by 9am or join us when you can.  Good luck Devon!
 
Monday (6/4) @ 8:15am - 1:30pm
Members of the Yarmouth High School freshman class will be working on the trail as a community service project.  This crew will be working on segment 3 behind Fels-Groves making some improvements to the trail we built last year.  Again we are very happy to have the help of the students!

2011 B-12 Results & Re-Cap

The 5th Annual 12 Hours of Bradbury Mountain might have had the best vibe yet!  300 Riders from all over New England and beyond including Canada & Colorado converged on the park Friday & Saturday for 12 hours of single-track paradise.  The races were interesting from the get-go.  Highlighted by the 2 person men's race as some of the fastest riders in New England teamed up to battle it out down to the wire.

Just after our annual spirited kid's race at noon, locals King Memphis took the stage and set the music precedent too high for this event!  A big thanks to Matt Robbins and his band for dedicating their afternoon.  The 3 person Family Team race got as close as 5 seconds late in the day while the 2 person Coed Team Race turned into a back and forth dual.

The Solo crown went to Greg Jancaitis as he continued his run of consecutive 12 hour race victories.  All the talented riders in the solo classes continue to amaze us each year.  We had our first solo junior this year as local Jacob Inger rode his heart out completing 8 solid laps!  A big thanks to everyone who has comes to this event year after year.  The Bradbury 12 has turned into a New England classic due to the friendships that have formed and the positive attitute & enthusiasm all the participants have!

Yours on the trails,

Casco Bay Sports, Head Ranger Fritz Appleby, Team Bart Race Timing, & Volunteers (Mr. & Mrs. Finnie, Emma Pope-Welch, Mike Sandora, Steve Leary, Carrie Gilbert, Ashley Edmondson, Emily Helliesen, Casey Goodness, Kent Simmons, Brian Danz, Scott Townsend, & Dave Hammes)
