And Then There Were Trail Elves - 13 Nov 11 - Swansea, MA

  • Place: Village Park
  • Trailhead: Case Jr High
  • Riders: OMMB and JD
  • Miles: 6.3
  • Weather: feels like Summa in Novemba!
  • Temp: 54 to 62
  • Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: One endo yikes over a log hop (Elves one and a half got to see it!)

Notes: The awesome weather brought a bunch of riders and elves to the woods this Sunday morning!  We first ran into Elf #1 (Who's name we shall not mention) and his Half Elf working on the new trail (between the markers on the GPS track above).  They had some serious trail building equipment with them!  At the other end of the trail we found Elf #2 (Chris) with his two dogs.  He was kicking the ass of some big stump (OMMB would have made the trail go around it...hahaha).  I told them I'd try to help out next Sunday.  I was told by Elf #1 who's name we shall not mention that the trail will be called "Two Guys"... nice.  We also ran into Tim and John, three times, a group of five riders, another trail elf (Dan) leaf blowing with his black dog, two other riders, and yet another elf (oh hi Bob), also leaf blowing. They all were really doing an amazing job.  Nice elves.  Be sure to thank them if you happen to ride by!

Tidbits: Another nice bridge by Team Elf at the bottom (left) of the long downhill, gets you over the little rocky stream.



Happy Trails,
OMMB
