The pipeline is getting mowed
Oh no 
Direct result of Strava use.
Direct result of legal obligations to make pipelines easily accessible, for spill prevention, mitigation, and maintenance operations.
Sorry if I missed the sarcasm? But nobody’s spending like that to stop some people riding bikes.
Yeah, Line 24 gets a “haircut” every 18-24 months.
Now that it’s cleared up a bit, maybe I’ll find my tripod that I lost out there some weeks ago…
I hope it wasn’t standing upright with the brush and trees haha
Of the few times I’ve seen it mowed down in there, I got the impression the equipment operator was doing a decent job of not tearing up trails.
I was in when they were cutting last time and they were actively working around the features - major kudos to the operators who took extra time and care to do minimal damage to the trail.
