Trail Report - 5/4/10 - Swansea Forest - Swansea, MA

- Trailhead: Swansea Library
- Riders: OMMB
- Distance: 4.5 miles
- Weather: cool, humid
- Temp: 64
- Trail Conditions: slightly wet due the rain this afternoon
- Wildlife:  Heard LOTS of Spring Peepers, nothing seen or squished. Listen here...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Springpeepers.ogg
Notes: Had to wait for the rain storms to pass before heading out, so it was "lights on".   Something about riding in reduced daylight seems to make the trails more manageable.  It's a matter of just riding over the rough stuff without thinking about it... no time for your brain to tell you that danger approaches!

Tidbits: Investing in a good lighting system (head and bike mounted) is well worth being able to squeeze additional riding time out of a day.  If you don't have the money, find a nice wife to buy them as a gift for you!  ;)

Happy Trails,
OMMB
