Munson Hills trail work

Foster hosted a bike ride with rakes last Thursday to help out some of the sandy spots down there. It sucked to ride on right after we were done but it’ll be good down the road.

Southside!

Last Sunday I did a long ride in the National Forest with someone who is actively sorting out the trails between Crawfordville Highway and Springhill Rd.
