Diggin’

I spent three (3) regularly scheduled work sessions digging trails in Leaders Park this past weekend. Volunteers showed up to lend a hand.

The Saturday morning session was spent widening the trail where it was dug too narrow. The Saturday afternoon session was spent digging new trail. The Sunday session was again fixing trail.

Falls Area SingleTrack is fortunate to have such dedicated volunteers. They show up and make this project happen.

I guess I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention my in-between-Saturday-dig-sessions visit to the FAB bike club kick-off. I met that crazy MinusCar fellow there. We dined and then had the floor. I took the opportunity to explain how I was handling the South Dakota portion of the US Bike Route System. I also threw a plug in for FAST.

The weekend was made complete as the sunburn I acquired in Colorado was in full peel. Every spring I am the dumb ass who neglects to use sunscreen the first few times the weather is nice enough to bare some skin.

There are some things coming up. On May 19th the FAST movie night will take place at Monk’s House of Ale Repute with the first (1st) movie starting at 6:30 PM. The second (2nd) movie will fire up shortly after the first. A free-will donation goes directly, and one-hundred percent (100%), to FAST.

At the end of the month I head west to attend this year’s Black Hills Fat Tire Festival. I’m sure that will be great fun.

Ride On.
