Oakland Pump Track Update

by Michael Hartlaub

Quick pump track update. After a long winter of COVID lockdowns we have pulled the tarps, cleaned up the track, and treated the soil for a good spring and summer of pump track fun. The track is open and riding well, come check it out!

We also completed a few of our project goals, we have installed a nice sign kiosk displaying all the pump track rules and thanking our project sponsors, and we now have a job storage box full of tools so we can continue to maintain the track and keep it riding well!

With the help of many volunteers from the BTCEB and the local community, we repaired winter damage, treated the surface with lime, and we also working on putting in a water tank over the next couple of weeks. The tank pad has been cleared and we are waiting for delivery base material and our new water tank in the next couple of weeks.

We are also planning our next phase of work and trying to source some good quality soil for Phase II. In addition we are working on building a nice repair stand and tools storage area so you can do some minor adjustments and pump up your tires.

With all your donations we have raised almost $10,000, but still have not hit our goal of $15,000. We can still use your support.  Please consider donating to our Phase II effort on GoFundMe. And if you have time, please spread the word on social media or email your friends so we can make this community built project even better!
