A new mountain bike trail

Remember June 2? It was National Trail Day and we volunteered to build a section of a new trail. A few days ago, I had noticed that “Ramble-On” had just been opened up and today, straddling our mountain bikes, we made our initial foray into that new single track path.

At first, it was a lot of work, as the extremely dry ground was quite sandy and didn't offer much traction. Eventually it go better, but still, some of the turns remained quite challenging.

Just like fine wines, mountain bike trails take time to mature and get very good. This one will be no exception; we'll do it again, but it needs some aging to show its true potential. We'll certainly return, but not tomorrow!

You dont have to be a bike pro to realize that the Roadmaster mountain bike is low-cost and is ideally suited for the biker not wanting an entire lot of characteristics other than its thumb shifters that are present instead of levers ...
