On the weekend we had a break in the torrential rain storms of late, and while cold, we had a great group join up for some Cumberland Trail fun.

Fall becomes a great time of year to give back for the many fabulous days of riding through the summer. Time to put the trails to bed, work in a few new lines and fix a few bridges. It’s trail work time.
Over the last couple of months we have had the unfortunate vantage of seeing great trails lost to the saw blade head of a feller buncher.
While there is sadness in losing a favorite trail, we can rebuild and in the long run forestry will take a back seat to other sustainable uses of our natural greenspaces.
So come join us, grab a shovel, some gloves and give thanks!
Great ride today with some good friends. Trails were a bit damp in spots, but the sun which appeared later in the ride was very welcomed. Beautiful fall colours were enjoyed by all.
