Toro Verde Adventure Park, Puerto Rico
Since mid November Dewayne has been working in Orocovis, PR, designing and machine building a mountain biking trail system, as well as leading laborers in clearing corridor and hand finish work.
The park comprises 500 acres of steep mountainous terrain bounded by a river on one side and an active drainage on another. Slopes on which the trails are being built are from 30% to 120%. The skill levels of the trails range from beginner to intermediate. Several of the trails will traverse beneath many of the zip lines that crisscross above the terrain.
Construction with Caterpillar and Bobcat excavators is going well if not a bit slowly on the more steep side slopes. The bench is wide enough to fully support the machine most of the time, and the finished product is specced to be three feet wide due to the amount of exposure of almost all the trails.
