Alafia Workday.

It's this Saturday. Please RSVP to the trail boss if you can make it out. I have to work this weekend, so I can't make it, but I will get out in the middle of the month and rebuild some of my trail karma.

My apologies to missing the workday. First time to Alafia. Google told me 43 minutes. Actually took 1:25 though probably 5 of that was stopping for gas and another 10 minutes was wasted in Plant City where I ended up an Alexander when I meant to be on 39. That ate up the 20 minutes of extra time that I'd budgetted so I didn't get in til 9:15. I changed into riding shorts and just rode around. Never did find anyone but I didn't venture out on to the hard stuff so that must have been where everyone was.

hopefully the drop before the high line in doom is fixed. you never realized how steep that little drop is until you walk up it with 20lbs rocks.

Since I missed the main group while riding around I tried to pick up litter when ever I saw it. Pulled over to grab a wrapper and spotted a nice polar insulated water bottle at the bottom of the first big descent on North Creek mostly buried in the leaves. Contents of it smelled like fermented lemonade and it was bloated so I think it'd been there awhile. Needless to say I didn't drink it. Just dumped it and stuffed it into my bottle cage. I figure it was karmic payment for picking up trash.

Probably either the 16th or the 23rd, depends on my schedule. I'll put a post up in here a week before hand.

23rd?

Art and I might go out on the 22nd. If we can get 6 or so people we think we can complete the new part of Moonscape. I know it is tough being on a Friday and Memorial weekend and all.

I think NI is doing a skills class on the 23rd. If you get a bunch of people out there maybe you can get them into some work after the class/ride???

No can do. Working Friday, and driving to Asheville on Saturday. I'll just have to keep picking up trash as my token trail work.

If we do work this Saturday, I am going to ride afterwards and bring a trash bag with me to just focus on cleaning up.

I am still available Friday. I may go down there to ride regardless, if the trails are ridable....
