Big “Shout-Out” to John PR (JPR) for Trail Clearing

A big thank you and “shout out” goes out to John PR who
(we just found out) cleared a long stretch of single-track from Scotch Broom, tall grass, and ferns which previously overflowed / overgrew the trail in area 21 (Ft. Lewis – off Rainier Rd). The editor can attest that . . .
“this trail absolutely rockets
from the start to finish.” (One can look well ahead and see the trail!)
Today was a recovery ride for the editor after yesterday’s ride on Capital Peak Green Line #6 to #20, to #8 from Mima Mounds.
Today’s ride took place in area #23 – single track through woods, up the hill to near the top of the old “Rainier Lookout,” and back. Mind you . . . JPR was on a single speed, 23 lb’er hard-tail bike. Editor = dual-suspension, 37 lbs (the bike) and about 10-14 lbs overweight (editor). Nothing like a good ride (humbling) for getting motivated to eat less, and ride the same, if not more. At least we were out on bikes for 1 ½ hours! (Could have been doing something far less healthy.)
