Headbanger Tree Limb on ScoCoPa Loop

[tibbits]

An Osage Orange tree juts the elbow of a limb into the ScoCoPa trail a bit north of its takeoff from the Parkview loop. About 6 inch diameter. Very rigid. At exact head height for this rider. On left border of trail, but it can be hit while wheels on the singletrack. The dark brown bark of the limb is hard to see against the forest background.

i think I got your tree. A leaner on the 'bad neighborhood' section. But, everybody keep your eyes open. We haven't been all the way around since sundays storm. Could be more down. Post up if you run into anything (pun intended)

Did you cut it? The tree was not down or wind damaged. Very healthy tree. Sounded like a pistol shot hitting the helmet.

I gave it a trim. Still a healthy tree with one less branch at helmet height.
