Iron Horse MKIII - Rigged as a Single Speed

Observations: Surprised to see so many people out on the trail so early in the morning. The new bridge on the blue trail is really nice. Was having a great ride until my chain got stuck between my spokes and cassette. Spent half an hour Trail Ambassadoring to myself. Ended up rigging myself single speed and sparing myself the walk of shame.

This place needs a lot of work! Quite a few sections need armoring and one particular section on the yellow trail up near route 25 needs to be rerouted due to erosion.
