Pump Track Update

The pump track build was an incredible success! Right now the track is still drying but it will be ready to ride in a couple days or so. The Resident's Council and Planning Committee would like to show their gratitude for all the people that made this project happen so quickly and successfully. In particular, Phil Cooley from Slows Bar B Que, Joe Mifsud from Michigan Forklifts, the entire Tau Beta Pi Honor Society at Wayne State University, GCDC and Representative Fred Durhal for making this project a success. We sill have plenty of work left to do on the site so if you're interested in getting involved, leave a comment here or at the Pump Track Facebook page.

Special thanks to the Michigan Mountain Biking Association and to Matt in particular, who put together this awesome video of the first build day.

  1. Congratulations and thanks to all involved in this wonderful project! I led the Detroit Bikes tour (Java Junket) on November 14th. We were fortunate enough to witness the last stages of the track's construction. Inspiring indeed! Tom
