Busy weekend, great cleanup

What a busy weekend so far. It started yesterday with a not-so-early morning cleanup. Kudos to Cory for getting us all out there. It was well needed, and with the support we had from everyone it went really well. Great job to everyone, we really made a difference. I hope someone got out there to give it a try. But I think with the experienced singletrackers we had, the lines will be really fast. It was nice to slow down and get involved with the wilderness instead of blasting through it at break-neck speed. But trust me, I'll be getting back to that speed very soon.

Even though I was bushed from the shoveling, I had to get back to work. I grabbed a quick lunch, quick nap, and I was off to Panera. I had to break into this program I'm working on. Luckily I figured a couple things out. But after laying out some "to-dos" I realized it'd be a full night, and still needed to work on things today a bit.

Hence, I decided I better skip an epic sounding day of riding with Cory, Matt, Paul and Emily. Sorry guys I can't wait to hear about the long ride you did. I just know after a day like that, I'd be out of it enough to kill the rest of my day. After a little thesis work this morning, I'll be at my second job the rest of the afternoon. As soon as I pick up a new bike, and get my jobs and thesis in a better spot, you guys will surely be hearing some hounding from me about riding more:)

I'm thinking if the weather holds I would like to get a few folks together to ride on the fresh trails we created. If any of you guys want to ride, or have any scheduling conflicts, put a comment here, and I'll try to see if any specific day works better this week/weekend.

Nice to have you join us for the trail day. I was worried I left without you Sunday, good to hear you decided to be a responsible kid instead. It was a slog. All bodies needed a bit of reminding of how to ride distance, even though in the scheme it wasn't that far.

I'd be up for some riding this week. I'd like to get the trail built from 190th to Peterson this Saturday and maybe a bit of riding thereafter as well. A friend is getting a Cannondale 29er, so we'll be out this weekend for sure.

Hey Great. Thanks for including me in everything, it's been great to get this involved in the bike community.

I'll be up for trail building, but I definitely would like to do some riding shortly thereafter. I'm bringing my bike either way.
