Trail Stewardship

Greetings everyone,
Since there were just a few of us today, we spent time mixed between riding and doing trail maintenance. Jeff and John cleared a single-track section through one of the meadows of head-height scotch broom (where we lost track of some folks on the previous ride) and then went on to clear about a mile or so of brush, thick ferns, and nettles from single track in the woods. The trail is more open and smoother now with no more “green prickly” obstacles. Several (slimy & slippery when wet) logs were removed and a trail going over a fallen tree was widened so you can now ride over it with a little finesse and some concentration.
