SUMMARY:The da Vinci Dialogues ft. Brent Ellis
DESCRIPTION:​In this presentation\, members of the Hydrocut Trail Team explore how a remarkable engineering concept sketched by Leonardo da Vinci more than 500 years ago found new life in one of Waterloo Region’s most beloved mountain biking destinations.   ​Attendees will discover the story behind the Hydrocut’s Da Vinci Bridge\, a self-supporting wooden structure inspired by Leonardo’s original design and adapted to span a creek within the community forest. Through the bridge’s development\, the presentation highlights how Renaissance ingenuity continues to influence modern engineering and outdoor recreation.   ​Driven by the Waterloo Cycling Club (WCC) and its mission to foster fun\, accessible\, and inclusive mountain biking\, the project became a true community collaboration. Learn how volunteer trail builders\, licensed Professional Engineers (P.Engs)\, and local business partners worked together through the Hydrocut Trail Committee to transform a centuries-old concept into a durable piece of trail infrastructure enjoyed by thousands of riders each year.
