Rosaryville

The past two days I have spent a good time at the local state park - Rosaryville. First a night ride with MORE and then trail maintenance with IMBA and MORE. Between my stupid wreck on the night ride, and moving things larger than I am yesterday I barely can walk.

The trail maintenance was really awesome. Working with the IMBA guys that do trail building through out the year was very encourging. I even got to deal with Chris Scott from the SM100 and Wilderness 101. We were the chainsaw duo for a good part of the day. He tried to turn me to the dark side but we ended up only with great conversations about lesbians, riding and brownies.

Now the night riding was interesting. I really need to get more trail time this winter. Even if I have to wake up early or work my schedule at work to be able to ride in the early afternoon. Still have low confidence going into things and need to learn how to work those stupid gear things on the bike. It was great seeing some of the MORE guys that I haven't truely met. Tommy (Gorilla), RickyD, and Jason all turned up. Also Joe was there sporting his Fasso roadie hat. (Major brownie points Joe)

Talked with Scott to figure out how to get my shop more involved with MORE and mountain biking. We both had some good ideas it seemed, hopefully I can pursuade the boss man to like them as well!
