How did you use the trail: biking
What was the time of day: 3:30 to 6
Duration (Hours): 2.5
Distance (Miles): ?
Observations: It was a beautiful night for a ride, saw maybe 1/2 dozen mountain bikers and a bunch of dog walkers/hikers/joggers. There is a lot of trail damage from people biking through wet areas (as well as equestrians riding through). There were a lot of downed trees and dead fall littering the trails which is not surprising with all the rain and wind we've had. I spent some time clearing vines deadfall and trees from the trails, picked up an inner tube, a tube of tire patch glue and a reflector off the trails (apparently someone was having a bad day). There was one tree that was across the path around a blind corner about chest and head height, almost ran into it! Took some time to clear it out of the way. All in all a great ride, nice to see spring is finally here (next time I'll bring the camera)!
