Since our move over to Maine I haven't been riding as much as I would like, a host of reasons go into that- but the biggest has been priorities. I've been very focused on moving, the new job, getting our NH house ready to rent, yada yada yada- but now (for the most part) life is settling into a routine and I'm getting the bike back involved.
With the move I have had to leave some of the nicest single track a guy could ask for behind. It has been a long time with my enjoyment of others hard work in the woods, and the time has come that I begin to give back by building some trails. That is one of the nice things about working for a private school- we have land, and we have a headmaster who is into cycling and wanting to see trails get built- so I have the space, I own rakes, and now I just need to go out and do it.
Last night the girls and I (well most of the girls- K was out walking the dogs) went out and raked a section of trail that connected two existing but dead end pieces of trail- so I have one loop ready to be ridden in. I have a few other sections laid out in my mind- now I need to just get out and make them happen.
So I begin the giving back for trail building karma.
