Yesterday, Ben, Eugene and I went up on 87-B, one of our favorite mountain bike trails and did some trail maintenance. Eugene brought a chain saw and he and Ben chain-sawed out about 5 trees which were across the trail. I helped to remove brush and debris associated with the job! After we were finished, we could ride the entire trail without getting off the bike, something we have not been able to do in three years. It felt good to help not only the MTB community but the horseback riders who use the multi-use trail on Holston Mt. It is a beautiful place and I feel that our small part in improving the trail was a good thing.
The day today was gorgeous and with Ben retired, we could get up at a leisurely pace and ride when we wanted, and we did. We rode one of our regular routes and enjoyed the leisurely pace and the beauty of the day. We are now headed to the farm to plant another crop of corn and see how the rest of the garden is progressing...peas are almost ready! Yummy!
