We all know it's fun to ride on mountain bike trails, but those trails don't just happen. I belong to a great club, made up of great folks, who, among other things, make trails. This afternoon I was part of an Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance work party doing trail construction up at Duthie Hill. When Bob lifted up a log, he found this little guy staring up at him. After I took these pictures, Bob relocated the little fella to a damper, safer place off the trail and we got back to work.
It sure is fun to zip down the trails, but in the slow work of building something you get to come face to face with this wonderful world.
Keep 'em rolling,

Building trail always makes me appreciate the ride that much more. It also makes me think long and hard before I apply too much back pressure while scorching on loose terrain.
